Understanding Functions in Shipping Costs

The video tutorial explores whether the dollar amount of an order can be represented as a function of shipping costs. It explains that shipping costs are $4 for orders under $20 and $7 for orders $20 or more. The tutorial examines if shipping costs can be used as inputs to determine a unique order amount. It concludes that since multiple order amounts can correspond to a single shipping cost, the relationship is not a function.
