Question

Identify whether the relations given in the options are functions or not.

Answer 1

Answer:

Graphs 1, 2, and 3 are not functions. Graph 4 is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the vertical line test.

Imagine a vertical line moving from left to right.

If in any position of the vertical line, it intersects more than one point on the graph, then it is not a function.

In graphs 1 and 2 it is clear that there are many vertical lines than would intersect the graph at more than one point.

In graphs 3, a vertical line would intersect the vertical parts of the graph at more than 1 point, so graph 3 is not a function.

The only function is graph 4.
