A relation is defined as a rule connecting values from a domain to a range, represented as a set of ordered pairs (x, y). A function is a specific type of relation where each domain element corresponds to only one range value, ensuring no two pairs share the same x-value with different y-values. The document also discusses methods to illustrate functions, such as mapping diagrams and the vertical line test for determining if a graph represents a function.

RELATION
It is a rule that relates values from
a set of values called domain to a second set of values called the range. It is a set of ordered pair (𝒙, 𝒚) FUNCTION It is a relation where each element in the domain is related to only one value in the range by some rule. It is a set of ordered pairs (𝒙, 𝒚) such that no two ordered pairs have the same x- value but different y-values. Using functional notation, we can write 𝒇 𝒙 =𝒚 Illustration of functions 1.Setof ordered pairs 2.Mapping or arrow diagram 3.graphing Set of ordered pair (𝒙, 𝒚) 𝒇 = 𝟐, 𝟓 , 𝟑, 𝟔 , 𝟔, 𝟗 , (𝟕, 𝟖) where: x-First element Independent variable Domain y- Second element Dependent variable Range EXAMPLE:
