Yes, square root is one such example: square root of 4 is +2 or -2.

The radical symbol (√) is used to denote the positive square root of a number; ie √4 = 2;

The square root of a number is thus ±√(the number), eg square root of 4 is ±√4 = ±2.

Yes. This would usually be expressed as two different functions, for example, f(x) and g(x). Or you can have a single function that returns an "object" that is more complicated than a single real number - for example, a complex number (made up of two real numbers), or a point in space (3 real numbers).

Yes, for example, the square root of 9 is -3 or +3. One input = 9

Two outputs = -3 and +3.

But such a relationship is NOT a function.

How do you do inputs and outputs in Math?

There will be 2 columns: one labeled X or input and Y or output. In the first column are the numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5. Above the chart is a rule which is basically an algorithm to find the numbers under Y. For example the rule is: Y=5X-2. So that means that we have to multiply the numbers in X by 5 and subtract 2. Therefore the Y numbers are 3,8,13, 18, and 23.


How many number of inputs and outputs will a full adder will have?

3 inputs and 2 outputs


What is the math definition for input output tables?

A table in which you put in a number and out comes another number. Usually more than one groups of numbers. And almost ALWAYS follows a rule such as: Input x3=Output or Input -23= Output Input | Output 2 | 4 10 | 20 16 | 32 In this table you can see that the rule is Input x2 = Output Hope This helped!


What is a math concept?

A math CONCEPT is a fancy way of describing the different ways and things you can and can't do in math. A math Concept can be 5!. That in term equals 5*4*3*2*1, which then = 120.


How do you do in and out in math?

Assuming by in you mean input and out you mean output. Input is the value that goes in while the output is the value you receive. Between these terms is a rule, called the nth term that will always work to help you find the input/output. For example. Our input is 2, and our output is 10 the rule here could be the input multiplied by 5 equals the output, or it can be something extremely difficult and unfathomable even to a banker...
