• A relation is a set of numbers grouped with
each other that may or may not represent a
pattern. It is simply a set of ordered pairs
such as (x, y).

Applications:
1. A car has travelled a distance of 124
kilometers in 4 hours. Find the speed of the
car.
2. The volume of the cube is defined by the
function 𝑽 = 𝒔 𝟑 where s is the length of
the edge.
• What is the volume of the cube if the
length of the edge is 5 cm?
• What is the length of its edge if its
volume is 728 cubic meters?
