Functions and relations

- it is shared by two or more than

- the relationship between input and output (x and y)

 input – output
 x, y
 domain, range

Relation is a set of ordered pair

(1, 2) (2, 3) (3, 4) (4, 5) → function
(1, 2) (1, 3) (1, 4) → not a function

x y x y x y
1 → 2 - one to one 1 2 – one to many 1 2 – many to one
2 → 4 - function 2 4 – function 2 4 – function
3→6 3 6 3
x should not be
repeated
GRAPH
Vertical Line Test – if the vertical came across on the graph once,
then it’s a function. If it came across twice or more, then it’s not a
function.
