In mathematics, a function can be defined as a rule that
relates every element in one set, called the domain, to exactly one element in another set, called the range. For
example, y = x + 3 and y = x2 – 1 are functions because every x-value produces a different y-value. A relation is
any set of ordered-pair numbers..
