GENERAL MATHEMATICS

Definition of a Function:
• It is a relation define as a set of ordered
pairs (x, y) where no two or more distinct
ordered pairs have the same first element
(x).
• Every value of x corresponds to a unique
value of y

RELATIONS versus FUNCTIONS
RELATIONS
FUNCTIONS
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.
A function is a relation
where each element in
the domain is related to
only one value in the
range by some rule.
