a function is a relation in which each value of the input variable is paired with at least one value of the output variable
 True or false?

Yes true. But this does not mean that a function can have more than 1 value for each input variable but each input variable MUST have an output.

Thanks. I kinda thought this was a trick question since it says at least one (like if it could have more than one).

Yeah tricky indeed :)

I just plugged in the answer, it was actually false :(

Maybe we made a mistake here. Atleast could could also mean more than one in that case the relation is not a function.
