20 Classify each relation below as one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many. It’s
probably best to work from a sketch of the curves, but you may want to approach the question
algebraically.

21 a Twenty people (x-values) in an office have their country of birth (y-values) recorded in the
office manager’s spreadsheet. Is this relation a function? Classify it as one-to-one, many-to-one,
one-to-many or many-to-many.

b What condition would make this relation one-to-one?
