I decided I'll just study what functions are first, and I think that's giving me a better understanding.

You are in the right path. I will not be pedantic, since you are in a process of understanding and reshaping what you know. Take your time. The key to understand any function is that it maps a value from one set to a value from another set. There are some values allowed for the input set, and some for the output set. You take it from there. PS Don't give up. I was a drop out and learned math later in life. It is a ladder, just don't skip steps!

@thoughtterminatingcliche Thank you. I've been writing a note that's essentially just taking the stuff from mathisfun's section on functions, Khan Academy's, and this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNZl4GqVm58&t=257 and trying to find ways to slightly reword them and fit bits from each into it so it hopefully sticks. I write my notes more like I'm writing a lesson to myself instead of quick sections I jot down. It takes me a while to write so I type it on my phone, make sure it's correct and touched up, then copy it down in a notebook.

I have another question, yet again. I'm learning about independent and dependent variables. Is this explanation I wrote for myself correct? I haven't written it in my note book yet so I can still change and add to it without much trouble if I need to. An independent variable is a variable that can be manipulated to give us the value of the dependent variable. A dependent variable is a variable that has a value that can only be found by substituting the independent variable for something. For...
