Relations and Functions

A relation is a collection of ordered pairs that relates objects from two sets. A function is a type of relation where each object in the first set (domain) corresponds to exactly one object in the second set (range). The document provides examples of relations and identifies whether they are functions or not based on this one-to-one correspondence criteria. Exercises are provided for the reader to practice identifying domains, ranges, and classifying relations as functions.

RELATION AND

FUNCTION
A relation between two sets is a collection of
ordered pairs containing one object from each set. If
the object x is from the first set, and the object y is
from the second set, then the objects are said to be
related if the ordered pair (x, y) is in the relation. A
function is a type of relation.
A function is a correspondence between a
first set called the domain (x), and a second
set, called the range (y), such that each
member of the domain corresponds to
exactly one member of the range.
EXAMPLES:
For each relation, identify the domain and the range then determine
whether the correspondence is a function or not.

1. {(2, 3), (4, 4), (6, 4), (7, 8)}

Domain: {2, 4, 6, 7}
Range: {3, 4, 8}
* It is a function.
2.
x y
-2 4
4 -3
5 6
-1

Domain: {-2, 4, 5}
Range: {4, -3, 6, -1}
* It is not a function.
3.

Domain: {x/x is a real number}

Range: {y/y ≥ -1}

* It is a function.
4.

Domain: {x/ -4 ≤ x ≤ 4}

Range: {y/ -1 ≤ y ≤ 4}

* It is not a function.
Remember:

All functions are relations but

not all relations are functions.


EXERCISES
For each relation, (a) write the domain, (b) write the range,
and (c) determine whether the correspondence is a function or
not.

1. {(1, 1), (2, 3), (4, -2), (4, 2)}


2. {(2, -1), (5, 3), (8, -1), (11, 2)}
