Function
A function is a set of ordered pairs (x,y) such that no
two distinct members have the same first element.
 Functions
A function is a relation in which each element
of the domain is paired with exactly one
element of the range. Another way of
saying it is that there is one and only one
output (y) with each input (x).

Assignment: Explain each answer.

1.) If a function is represented by a set of ordered pairs,

then, no two pairs have the same second component.
2.) Every line on a Cartesian coordinate plane represents
a function.
3.) The relation y = x is not a function.
4.) An element of the range of a function may be used
more than once.
5.) The equation x2 + y2 = 1 represents a function.
