a fucntion is when there is only one value of y for every falue of x. for example lets say you look at a table of values with 4 numbers. the numbers on the y side are -4 -3 -5 and 3 it is a function beacue none of the numbers are the same

The easy way to determine if a curve or something like that is a function is if there is one and only one y value for every x value. The way I do it is by looking at the graph. I take a pencil and hold it up and down parallel to the y axis and move it along the curve. If it crosses the curve twice then it is not a function. If it always crosses a curve once then it is a function.

Looking at the equation, if Y has no exponents (or will have no exponents if you solve the equation for y) then it is a function. exponents on the y means that there will be more than one value of y for some x.
