Function is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with
EXACTLY one element of the range.
example
x y
0 -1
2 -2
1 -1
1 5
-3 4
This is not a function because the domain 1 is paired with two ranges -1 and 5.
A function should be
x y
1 7
2 7
3 8
even if two domain has one element of y.
domain is paired with exactly one range.
