Documenting the Definition of a Mathematical Function

During your onboarding as a data analyst, your supervisor asks you to document the mathematical rules that govern how the company's reporting software pairs data points. You must write out the formal definition of a mathematical function for the team's new standard operating procedure (SOP) handbook. Write a short paragraph defining a mathematical function from memory. In your response, explicitly state the relationship between the domain and the range, and explain how an xx-value (input) must map to a yy-value (output).
