To be a function, there needs to be one unique
value of for every
-----------------------------
The 1st set has 5 different values of
for and violates definition
--------------
The 2nd set is a function
-----------------------
The 3rd set has
( 1,2 ) & ( 1,1 )
( 2,3 ) & ( 2,2 )
( 3,4 ) & ( 3,3 )
Each of these pairs violates the definition
----------------
The 4th set has ( 2,-7 ) & ( 2,0 ) which
violate definition
