𝑪 𝑫 𝑲 𝑳

𝑪 = {𝟎, 𝟒, 𝟑} 𝑲 = {𝟏𝟐, −𝟐, 𝟔}

𝑫 = {𝟒, 𝟖, 𝟕} 𝑳 = {𝟓, 𝟏𝟎, 𝟗}

𝑹𝟏 = {(𝟎, 𝟑); (𝟒, 𝟖); (𝟑, 𝟕)} 𝑹𝟐 = {(𝟏𝟐, 𝟓); (𝟏𝟐, 𝟏𝟎); (−𝟐, 𝟗); (𝟔, 𝟗)}

Each element of 𝑪 HAS unique output in 𝑫. Each element of 𝑲 has NOT unique output in 𝑳.
The relation is A FUNCTION. The relation is NOT A FUNCTION.
It is A ONE TO ONE FUNCTION.

It is A ONE TO ONE FUNCTION.

5. 𝑹 = {(−𝟏, 𝟑); (𝟐, 𝟒); (−𝟏, −𝟑); (−𝟐, 𝟒)} 6. 𝑹 = {(𝟎, 𝟑); (−𝟑, 𝟗); (𝟑, 𝟗); (𝟏, 𝟏)}

The relation is NOT A FUNCTION because input - Each input value HAS unique output.
1 has two different outputs. So the relation is A FUNCTION.
