Functions
Definition
Functions are an arithmetical expression which relates 2 variables. Functions are usually denoted as
meaning for any value of there is a corresponding value where
- - independent variable.
- - dependent variable.
- - function of .

Equations
An equation is an expression of a function of a variable that has a value equal to zero
Equations can be solved to find the value of a variable that satisfies the equation. The process of finding this value is called root finding. All values of a variable that make its function equal to zero are called roots of the equation.
Examples
- Equation .
- Root .
- is the root of the equation since substitution the value of x in the equation we have
