Function notation and inputs

Function machine with an input x going through f to output f(x), an inverse arrow taking the output back to x, and a composite chain x through f then g to give g(f(x)).

A function is a rule that gives exactly one output for each input. In f(3)f(3)f(3), the 3 is the input and the value you get after applying the rule is the output.
