A relation is an operation, or
series of operations, that maps
one number onto another.
For example, adding 3 is a relation.
We could write it as the relation,
x 3.
It maps 5 onto 8, because 5+3 is 8.
You can think of a relation as a
machine that uses numbers to
produce other numbers.
This machine adds 5 to any
number you put into it.

In this relation, -5 is mapped
onto 12, 1 is mapped onto 18,
and 100 is mapped onto 117.

If you see the relation as
adding 17 to each number, you
could say that 3 maps onto 20.
