A relation is any set of ordered pairs, such as ({(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)}), where the first element can repeat. A function is a specific type of relation where each input (or first element) is associated with exactly one output (or second element), such as (f(x) = x + 1), which pairs each (x) value with a unique (y) value. For example, (f(1) = 2), (f(2) = 3), and so on, ensuring no input has multiple outputs.

Is the relation a function?

Not every relation is a function. But every function is a relation. Function is just a part of relation.


What is an example of a relation that is not a function?

An example of a relation that is not a function is the relation defined by the set of points {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}. In this relation, the input value 1 corresponds to two different output values (2 and 3), violating the definition of a function, which states that each input must have exactly one output. Therefore, since one input maps to multiple outputs, this relation is not a function.


Can you have a function that is not a relation?

No, a function must be a relation although a relation need not be a functions.


Which of these data sets represents a function?

Does the graph above show a relation, a function, both a relation and a function, or neither a relation nor a function?


When does a relation be a function?

A function is a relation whose mapping is a bijection.


Is a function always a relation and a relation always a function?

yes.


How does graphing the order pairs of a relation can help decide if the relation is a function?

If a relation can be called a function, it means that the relation maps every element to one and only one other element. If you have some ordered pairs and see that, for example, 1 maps to 4 (1,4) and 1 also maps to 7 (1,7) , you don't have a function.


Is all relation a function?

Not every relation is a function. A function is type of relation in which every element of its domain maps to only one element in the range. However, every function is a relation.


A relation is a special type of function?

No. A relation is not a special type of function.


What makes a relation a function?

A relation is a mapping from one set to another. It is a function if elements of the first set are mapped to only one element from the second set. So, for example, square root is not a function because 9 can be mapped to -3 and 3.


How do you determine if a relation is a function?

A relation is a function if every input has a distinct output.


Give an example of a relation that is NOT a function and explain why it is not a function?

y² = x --> y = ±√x Because there are *two* square roots for any positive number (positive and negative) this will not be a function.
