Question

Explain any difference between a relation and a function

Answer 1

The following statements explain the difference between relation and function,

1. Function has a special with output and input.

Relation is a mapping of input and out put.

2. In a function all inputs have only one output.

In a relation a input can have as many outputs as it wants as long as all inputs have outputs.

3. In difference between relation and function, the relation is somewhat like a entire function problem and with input and output.

4. In difference between relation and function, the function is merely a particular relation with accurately one output for every input.

Answer 2

In a function, each x-value or independent value must only have 1 corresponding y-value or dependent value. On the other hand, in a relation, the independent value may have more than 1 corresponding dependent value. A function is a more specific case of a relation.
