If x = ( x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ) represents a point in a subset A of R n , and f ( x ) is exactly one point in R m , then we say that f is a function from (a domain in) R n to R m . The function f is called a. scalar-valued function if m = 1.

If x = (x1 , x2 , … , xn) represents a point in a subset A of Rn, and f(x) is exactly one point in Rm, then we say that f is a function from (a domain in) Rn to Rm. The function f is called a scalar-valued function if m = 1 vector-valued function if m > 1 function of a single variable if n = 1 function of several variables if n > 1 f(x) = 8 –x is a scalar-valued function of a single variable with domain {x | x 8} and range {y | y 0}. f(x1 , x2 , x3) = x2/x1 + 8 –x32 is a scalar-valued function of three variables with domain {(x1 , x2 , x3) | x1 0 , – < x2 < , |x3| 8} and range {y | – < y<}.
