this week in math we learnt about relations and functions. and I learnt that a function is when it only has 1 partner and a relation is when it has multiple partners. for example, in a relationship your significant other is your only partner (function). But in a friendship you can have multiple friends/partners (relation).
example:
function:
1 4
4 3
6 5
relation:
7 5
7 1
7 8
