GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela What is a function?
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 GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela

GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela What is the difference between a function and a relation?
RELATIONS versus FUNCTIONS GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela 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.
RELATIONS versus FUNCTIONS GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela RELATIONS FUNCTIONS The elements of the domain can be imagines as input to a machine that applies rule to these inputs to generate one or more outputs. The elements of the domain can be imagined as input to a machine that applies a rule so that each input corresponds to only one output.
RELATIONS versus FUNCTIONS GENERAL MATHEMATICS Samar College Galina V. Panela RELATIONS FUNCTIONS A relation is also a set of ordered pairs (x, y). A function is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that no two ordered pairs have the same x-value but different y-values.
