The document discusses functions and relations. It defines a function as a set of ordered pairs where each x-value is paired with only one y-value. A relation is a function only if each x-value is paired with exactly one y-value; if an x-value is paired with more than one y-value, it is not a function. It then asks the reader to identify which of several relations presented are functions based on this definition. It also gives some examples of evaluating simple functions.
