Advice

A function is a rule that assigns at most one output for each input.

For an equation such as $y=x^2+3$ , we think of $x$ as the input and $y$ as the output. Since each $x$ gives at most one $y$ value this is a function.

Since things such as $y>x$ , $y=\pm\sqrt{x}$ and ' $y=2 \text{ and } 3x$ ' give more than one $y$ value for an $x$ value these are not functions.

Graphically, the requirement that there is at most one $y$ value for each $x$ value means a curve is the graph of a function if it passes the 'vertical line test'. That is, if you draw vertical lines through the graph and each vertical line only cuts the graph at most once, the graph 'passes' the vertical line test and it represents a function.
