                                 10.    (a)  Each person has one and only one father. This is a function.
                                        (b)  Some men have more than one dog, others have none. This is not a
                                             function.
                                        (c)  Some real numbers have two square roots while others have none.
                                             This is not a function.
                                        (d)  Each positive integer has one and only one cube. This is a function.
                                        (e)  Some cars have several drivers. In a one-car family, everyone drives
                                             the same car. So this is not a function.
                                        (f)  Each toe is attached to one and only one foot. This is a function.
                                        (g)  Each rational number succeeds one and only one integer. This is a
                                             function.
                                        (h)  Each integer has one and only one successor. This is a function.
                                        (i)  Each real number has a well defined square, and adding six is a well
                                             defined operation. This is a function.
