What is the key distinction between relations and functions?

Relations can have multiple inputs for a single output, while functions have a one-to-one correspondence between inputs and outputs. (correct)

Relations are always reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, while functions do not have these properties.

Relations are always represented graphically, while functions can be represented in various forms.

Relations are sets of ordered pairs, while functions are sets of ordered triples.

Which type of relation is both reflexive and symmetric?

Equivalence relation (correct)

Symmetric relation

Reflexive relation

Transitive relation

What is the relationship between one-to-one (injective) functions and bijective functions?

One-to-one functions and bijective functions are the same type of function.

Bijective functions are a subset of one-to-one functions.
