Explanation

A unit test validates a single, isolated function or 'unit' of code with known inputs and expected outputs. Testing one mathematical function-such as one that calculates the area under a curve-in isolation is the definition of a unit test. Integration tests verify that multiple components work correctly together. End-to-end tests simulate full user workflows across the entire system. Functional tests verify behavior against business requirements at a higher level. Since the question describes testing a single function independently, the correct classification is a unit test.
