Function or Relation?

1. A function is a relation where each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range, meaning there is only one output for each input. 2. The relation {(2, 3), (3, 0), (5, 2), (4, 3)} is a function because each element of the domain is unique. However, the relation {(4, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (6, 6), (1, 9)} is not a function because the element 5 is paired with both 2 and 3. 3. To determine if a relation is a function, you can use the vertical line test - if any vertical

Objective
I can determine a
relation and a function.
Functions
A function is a relation in which each
element of the domain is paired with
exactly one element of the range. Another
way of saying it is that there is one and only
one output (y) with each input (x).

Is this relation a function?
{(1,3), (2,3), (3,3)}

1. Yes
2. No
Vertical Line Test (pencil test)
If any vertical line passes through more than one point of
the graph, then that
• relation is not a function.
• Are these functions?

FUNCTION! FUNCTION! NOPE!

FUNCTION! No!

NO WAY!
