Does this graph represent a function? Why or why not?

A Function is defined as the relation between the input and the output where one input can have only one output

When graphing functions, the x-axis denotes the inputs and the y-axis denotes the output of the function

Looking at the graph, we see that for one input (point on the x-axis) we have only one output (point on the y-axis)

Hence, we can say that this graph represents a function

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
