Question

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function?

Answer 1

Answer: neither A or B

Step-by-step explanation:

both have repeated inputs and outputs

Answer 2

Answer:

Neither set A nor set B represents a function.  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of a function, for each input there exists a unique output. In other word for each value of x there exists unique value of y.

In set A we have four ordered pair (-4,5),(1,-1),(2,-2) and (2,3).

It means for x=2, we have two values of y, i.e., -2 and 3.

Since for a single value of x there exist more than one value of y, therefore set A is not a function.

In set B we have four ordered pair (2,2),(3,-2),(9,3) and (9,-3).

It means for x=9, we have two values of y, i.e., -3 and 3.

Since for a single value of x there exist more than one value of y, therefore set B is not a function.
