A relation is a set of input-output pairs, while a function is a special relation where each input has exactly one output. Using the “vertical line test” on a graph: if a vertical line intersects more than once, it fails as a function. For instance, a circle x² + y²=4 is not a function because each x can map to two y-values. Ensuring you properly classify inputs/outputs as a function underpins correct domain/range analysis, function transformations, and advanced modeling. Distinguishing them is a hallmark of algebraic foundations and robust problem formulation.
