Some Definitions-
A relation is a rule that relates values from a
set of values (called the domain) to a second
set of values (called the range).
3
Example 1. Determine the relationship of the given
machine to its input and output.
4
Example 2:
What makes this a relation?
{(0, 5), (1, 4), ( 2, 3), ( 3, 2), (4, 1), (5, 0)}
Input 4 –5 0 9 –1
Output –2 7
{-2, 7}
6
Example 4.
Is this a relation?
NO
7
Is a relation a function?
What is a function?
A function is a relation in which
every input has exactly one output.
8
Is a relation a function?
• Focus on the x-coordinates, when given a relation
YES
10
Example 6
{(–1, 7), (1, 0), ( 2, 3), (0, 8), (0, 5), (–2, 1)}
• Is this a function?
•Hint: Look only at the x-coordinates
NO
• Is this still a relation?
YES

3. Which of the following relation
that is not a function?
A. ((2, 4), (4, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2))
B. ((3, 2), (5, 4), (7, 6), (9, 8))
C. ((0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7))
D. ((1, 3), (2, 5), (6, 8), (7, 9))
