Class 11 ISC – Question 4 Answer

Introduction
In mathematics, relations and functions are fundamental concepts used to describe how elements of on

This distinction is essential in algebra, calculus, and real-world applications. In this chapter, we will expl

What is a Relation?
Definition of Relation:
A relation is a set of ordered pairs (x, y), where x belongs to the domain and y to the range. It defines an

Example of a Relation:
R = {(2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}
In this case, the input 2 is related to both 3 and 4. This means it's a relation, but not a function.

What is a Function?
Definition of Function:
A function is a special type of relation in which each element in the domain maps to exactly one elemen

Example of a Function:
f(x) = x2 f = {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9), (4, 16)}
Each input has only one output, making it a function.

Key Differences, Graphs, and Conclusion


Key Differences between Relation and Function:

- A relation can have one input related to multiple outputs.


- A function has exactly one output for each input.
- Functions pass the vertical line test on a graph, while relations may fail.

Graphical Illustration:
The next page includes two graphs. One shows a relation where an input maps to multiple outputs, and

Conclusion:
Understanding the difference between a relation and a function is essential in mathematics. Functions a
