FUNCTIONS AND
THEIR GRAPHS
• Find the domain and range of a relation
• Determine whether a relation is a function or a nonfunction
• Determine whether an equation represents a function or a
non functions.
It is a relation define as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) where no
two or more distinct ordered pairs have the same first element
(x).
Every value of x corresponds to a unique value of y.

RELATION
A function is a relation where each

A relation is a rule that relates only one value in the range.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RELATION AND
FUNCTION?
A graph of mathematical relation is a function if any vertical
line drawn passing through the graph intersects the graph at
exactly one point.
