A function is always a relation but relation is not always a function

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, we have to explain Is a relation always a function and is a function always a relation

Note that both functions and relations are defined as sets of lists.  

In fact, every function is a relation. However, not every relation is a function.  A relation from a set X to a set Y is called a function if each element of X is related to exactly one element in Y.

That is, given an element x in X, there is only one element in Y that x is related to.

For example, consider the following sets X and Y. Let me give you a relation between them that is not a function;

X = { 1, 2, 3 }

Y = { a , b , c, d }

Relation from X to Y : { (1,a) , (2, b) , (2, c) , (3, d) }

This relation is not a function from X to Y because the element 2 in X is related to two different elements, b and c

Relation from X to Y that is a function: { (1,d) , (2,d) , (3, a) }

This is a function since each element from X is related to only one element in Y. Note that it is okay for two different elements in X to be related to the same element in Y. It's still a function, it's just not a one-to-one function.

So, we can say that function is a type of relation.

Which means whatever a function occurs, it will be a relation from one set to other.

But when a relation occurs it may be a function but need not be always a function.

Hence, a function is always a relation but relation is not always a function.

Answer:

1.we know the perimeter of the triangle=x-3+x+6+x=3x+3

so,answer is (b)3x+3

2.area of the triangle=1/2*b*h

=1/2*x+2*2x+6=x+2*2x+6/2=2x^2+6x+4x+12/2=2x^2+10x+12/2=2(x^2+5x+6)/2=x^2+5x+6

so,answer is(b)x^2+5x+6

If x-y =8 find the value of y when x=3
DedPeter [7]
Answer: y = -5

Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8                            Substitution
3 - y = 8                            Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5                                Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5                                Answer!

You can also check your work.
x - y = 8       
3 - (-5) = 8                  
3 + 5 = 8                        
8 = 8
