    This document discusses key concepts of functions including: 1) Machines that take a single input and produce a single, unique output represent functions while those that can have multiple outputs for the same input represent relations. 2) Functions can represent real-life situations and piecewise functions allow functions to have different outputs depending on the input range. 3) Operations like evaluating, combining, and composing functions are discussed as well as rational functions and how they can model real-life situations using equations and inequalities.

    GENERAL MATHEMATICS

    (GMAT)
    KEY CONCEPTS OF FUNCTIONS
    Which of these machines, if you know the input, can you determine a
    single or unique output?
    ANSWERS. Machines (a), (b), (c), (d) & (f). These machines are like
    FUNCTIONS. They have single input and a corresponding single output.

    Machine (e) is a RELATION. Relations can have one or more outputs.

    Function is a special type of relation.
