Question

Which of the following relations is a function?

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A is not a function because the same x value is repeated twice with different y values. The same goes for C and D so the answer is C.

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well a relation is a set of points and a function is a relation where every x value corresponds to only 1 y value.

So lets see which x values in these relations have only 1 y value.

A. Well a isn’t a function because the number 3 which is a x value had two y values which are -1 and 4.

B. This relation is a function because there are no similar x values.

C. This is not a function because the x value 4 has two y values which are 4 and -3.

D. This is not a function because the number 1 has 2 and 3 as y values.
