Ok so you are correct that x is input and y is output the you could be talking about a function in general or a kind of function normally used called a one-to-one function which I will assume you are talikning about
one-to-one funciton has that for every input, there is only 1 output, ie, x never repeats with a diffent y example (1,2), (2,2) is a function since x didn't repeat (1,2), (1,3) is not since x repeats with a different y
points given are
(-5,1),(-3,-2), (3,0),(1,1),(2,0),(6,4)(8,-2),(8,7) we see that the points (8,-2) and (8,7) make it not a function since it is the same input (8) that gives 2 different outputs
9.01 * 10^3 in scientific notation is 9.01 * 10^3.
I got this answer by moving the decimal so there is a non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent of the 10. If the decimal is binge move to the right, the exponent will be negative, but if the decimal is being moved to the left the exponent will be positive.
