Example OW.IMPL.2 : $G(x,y) = x^3 - y^2 = 0$.
Suppose $f(x) = x^{3/2} =(\sqrt x )^3$.
Draw a mapping diagram and graph of $f$ yourself, or
consider the GeoGebra figures and table below.

Notice how the points on the graph are paired with the points
on the mapping diagram.
Given a point / number, $x \ge 0$, on the source line, there is a
unique arrow meeting the target line at the point / number,
$f(x)$. which corresponds to the function's value for $x$
Check the box in Geogebra to see more points and arrows
corresponding to data on the table.
When the point in the domain is $0$, the arrow points to $f(0)=0$
visualizing the "Y-intercept" on the graph of $f$.
The function is increasing for all $x$ in the interval
$[0,\infty)$.
You can check this by moving $x$ on the GeoGebra mapping diagram.
