A function f is a rule that assigns to each element x in a set A exactly one element, called f(x) , in a set B.

Chapter 1, 1.1, P2

If f is a function with domain A, then its graph is the set of ordered pairs

(Notice that these are input-output pairs.) In other words, the graph of f consists of all Points(x,y) in the coordinate plane such that y=f(x) and x is in the domain of f.
