Anil Kumar explains the differences between relations and functions, emphasizing that all functions are relations, but not all relations are functions. He describes types of relations: one-to-one, many-to-one, and one-to-many, and how to identify functions using criteria such as the vertical line test. Graphical examples like parabolas, circles, and lines illustrate these concepts. Equations involving y² often indicate non-functions. The video concludes with tips for identifying functions and encourages further learning.

What is the key difference between relations and functions?

• All relations are functions.

• All functions are relations.

• Functions can have multiple outputs for a single input.

• Relations always have a single output for each input.

Which of the following is NOT a type of relation?

• One-to-Many

• Many-to-One

• One-to-One

• Many-to-Many

In a one-to-one relation, how are elements in the domain and range connected?

• Multiple elements in the domain are connected to one element in the range.

• Each element in the domain is connected to exactly one element in the range.

• Elements in the domain are not connected to the range.

• Each element in the domain is connected to multiple elements in the range.

What is a characteristic of a many-to-one relation?

• Elements in the domain are not connected to the range.

• Each element in the domain is connected to exactly one element in the range.

• Multiple elements in the domain are connected to one element in the range.

• One element in the domain is connected to multiple elements in the range.

Why is a one-to-many relation not considered a function?

• Because it is the same as a many-to-one relation.

• Because it has no elements in the domain.

• Because one element in the domain is connected to multiple elements in the range.

• Because it has no elements in the range.

What is a general statement about one-to-many relations?

• They are always functions.

• They are never functions.

• They are always one-to-one relations.

• They are sometimes functions.

What does the vertical line test help determine?

• If a graph is a parabola.

• If a graph represents a function.

• If a graph is a straight line.

• If a graph is a circle.

Which graph is an example of a one-to-one relation?

• A vertical line

• A parabola

• A horizontal line

• A circle

Why does a circle fail the vertical line test?

• Because it is a straight line.

• Because it intersects the vertical line at multiple points.

• Because it is a parabola.

• Because it is a horizontal line.

Which type of equation does not represent a function?

• y = 2x + 3

• y² = x + 2

• y = x + 2

• y = x² + 5
