Suppose you start measuring your height every day, starting today.
You will accumulate a set of pairs consisting of one date and one height.
On one hand there is the set of dates that starts with today and stretches out into the future. On the other hand there is the set of height that you might assume. If you are young then this set might consist only of numbers that are bigger than the one that you record for today. However, if you are fairly old, and becoming a little bit shorter with age, then the numbers in the set might be becoming smaller. In any case the second set will consist only of heights.
The function is the set of pairs that takes one date in the first set and 'maps' it (or connects it) to a height in the second set. The function is the complete set of pairs that you have accumulate thus far.

What is an example of a real life parent linear function?
y=x2
What is a real life example of the sine function?
A real life example of the sine function could be a ferris wheel. People board the ride at the ground (sinusoidal axis) and the highest and lowest heights you reach on the ride would be the amplitudes of the graph.
Real life situation involving function examples?
Functions are an integral part of mathematics, and most students learn them from Algebra II and up. A real life example of a function would be the relation between the height of a ball and how long it has been in the air.
A real life example of a octagon?
a real life example of an octagon is a stop sign.
What is an example of real life square root function?
electricians use the Square Root function when connecting 3 way outlets with the electral current of an intel processor.
