Function concept, domain and image

A relation is a function when every input x is associated with exactly one output y. Different inputs may share the same output.

What you need to know before the exercises

In this lesson: Recognize a function from input-output pairs and identify domain and image.

How to proceed: Check the inputs, the first coordinates: if the same x appears with two different y-values, it is not a function. The domain collects x-values; the image collects the y-values actually produced.

You can already assume: Sets and ordered pairs; relations recommended.

Try it now

Look at the ordered pairs and analyse the relation.
