RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
A relation is any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first elements of the ordered pairs is called the
domain of the relation, and the set of all second elements is called the range.
A function is a relation or rule of correspondence between two elements (domain and range) such
that each element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.
To further understand function, let’s study the following. Given the following ordered pairs, which
relations are functions?
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
B = {(3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
C = {(1,0), (0, 1, (-1,0), (0,-1)}
D = {(a,b), (b, c), (c,d), (a,d)}
The relations A and B are functions because each element in the domain corresponds to a unique
element in the range. Meanwhile, relations C and D are not functions because they contain ordered
pairs with the same domain [C = (0,1) and (0,-1), D = (a,b) and (a,d)].
