In the episode “Wild Barts Can’t Be Broken” of The Simpsons, Professor Frink is trying to find a group of children. He announces that he is gathering data on their location, as he says, “in order to express it as a function of my hand.” After he discovers their locations, he then points in that direction and yells, “They’re over there!”
Does Frink in fact express the children’s location as a function of his hand? Or maybe it is the other way around, and he uses his hand as a function of their location? Or maybe he’s totally wrong?! Using the mathematical definition of “function,” write a few sentences explaining your answer.
