Definition of Argument
An argument for a function is an independent variable. It is an input value that determines the result of applying the function.
For example, imagine that we can find a function that will tell us the length of a goanna, based on its age.
Suppose we have the following function for the length of our goanna:
so that the goanna grows \(25\text{ cm}\) every year.
Then "year" is an argument for the goanna length function "l"
