Definitions of mathematical function on the Web:
In mathematics, a function is a relation, such that each element of a set (the domain) is associated with a unique element of another (possibly the same) set (the codomain, not to be confused with the range). The concept of a function is fundamental to virtually every branch of mathematics and every quantitative science.

Hi:
Functions are points or line curves on a x,y graph that for any one x value, you have one y value for that x value. some example of functions are 3x+10 = y, 5x = y, x^2 = y, x^3 = y. sin( 2x) = y, Cos(2x) = y, Tan(5x) = y and many more then I can give here
Hope this helps

A function is a rule or algorithm to turn one value (called the 'independent variable') into another value (called the 'dependent variable')

An equation where you subsitutute a number in for a letter (example "x") to get another number ("y"... usually written f(x).
Have fun...
