GE 4 Relation and Function

The document discusses relations and functions. A relation is a set of ordered pairs where the first elements are the domain and second elements are the range. A function is a special type of relation where each domain element corresponds to exactly one range element. The relations A and B are functions, while C and D are not functions because they contain ordered pairs with the same domain element mapped to two different range elements. A function can map elements in its domain to elements in its range in either a one-to-one or many-to-one correspondence. Determining if a relationship is a function depends on whether any domain element is mapped to a unique range element.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
A relation is any set of ordered pairs. The set of all first elements of the ordered pairs is called the
domain of the relation, and the set of all second elements is called the range.

A function is a relation or rule of correspondence between two elements (domain and range) such
that each element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.

To further understand function, let’s study the following. Given the following ordered pairs, which
relations are functions?
A = {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,5)}
B = {(3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
C = {(1,0), (0, 1, (-1,0), (0,-1)}
D = {(a,b), (b, c), (c,d), (a,d)}

The relations A and B are functions because each element in the domain corresponds to a unique
element in the range. Meanwhile, relations C and D are not functions because they contain ordered
pairs with the same domain [C = (0,1) and (0,-1), D = (a,b) and (a,d)].
