Small doubt in function

I got the problem y=1/x , x element of A(domain) { 1,0,2...} and Codoman {0,1,2...}
I have to identify whether its function or not, y=1/0 is undefinted , so is it function or relation?

Re: Small doubt in function

it is a function because a line parallel to y axis cuts at only at one point hence it will having unique image.it represent relation also because all functions are relation also

hi dani_john

It doesn't look well defined to me because the codomain only seems to have integers and your domain needs x=2 maps onto y = ½

If I've got this wrong, you'll need to be more definite about the two sets.
