FUNCTION

A function is a relation where each element in the


domain is related to only one value in the range by
some rule.
The elements of the domain can be imagined as input to a
machine that applies a rule so that each input corresponds to
only one output.
A function is a set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that no
two ordered pairs have the same x-value but different
y-values.
RELATION
A relation is a rule that relates values from a set of
values called the domain to a second set of values
called the range. 
The elements of the domain can be imagines as input to a
machine that applies rule to these inputs to generate one
or more outputs. 
A relation is also a set of ordered pairs (x, y).
