OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain @roses_red

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was from my homework I typed it front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Basically, a relation: x's can have multiple y values Function: For each x, there is only one y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can something be a function and not a relation? Can something be a relation and not a function? @Fzxt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No to the first question, Yes to the second one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would look this up it is on googel for sure :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait sorry, it's No to the second one for hte other question. And yes that looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd reword "ordered pairs", that doesn't sound right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd say "a relation is a siet in which each x element can have multiple y values associated with it"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fzxt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats fine.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks sorry to keep tagging you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fzxt sorry last time I go confused reading it over you said what for this: Can something be a function and not a relation? Can something be a relation and not a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can something be a function and not a relation? No. All functions are relations. Can something be a relation and not a function? Yes, this is true. If a relation has an x that points to more than y, it is NOT a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks !
