Answer:

Functions can be one-to-one relations or many-to-one relations. A many-to-one relation associates two or more values of the independent (input) variable with a single value of the dependent (output) variable. The domain is the set of values to which the rule is applied (A) and the range is the set of values (also called the images or function values) determined by the rule.

Example of a one-to-one function: y=x+1

However, some very common mathematical constructions are not functions. For example, consider the relation x2+y2=4. This relation describes a circle of radius 2 centred at the origin. If we let x=0, we see that y2=4 and thus either y=2 or y=−2. This is a many-to-many relation because a single x-value relates to two different y-values. Therefore x2+y2=4 is not a function.

Vertical line test

Given the graph of a relation, there is a simple test for whether or not the relation is a function. This test is called the vertical line test. If it is possible to draw any vertical line (a line of constant x) which crosses the graph of the relation more than once, then the relation is not a function. If more than one intersection point exists, then the intersections correspond to multiple values of y for a single value of x (one-to-many).

If any vertical line cuts the graph only once, then the relation is a function (one-to-one or many-to-one).

The red vertical line cuts the circle twice and therefore the circle is not a function.

The red vertical line only cuts the parabola once and therefore the parabola is a function.
