Question

Write five ordered pairs in a table to represent a relation that is not a function.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, the relation of the given ordered pairs does NOT represent a function as that x-coordinate values are repeated.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a relation is basically a set of input and output values, which are expressed in ordered pairs.

A relation may have any set of ordered pairs.

We also know that a function is a set of ordered pairs in which each x-element has only one y-element associated with it.

Consider the five ordered pairs

x                       y

-2                      1

3                       -4

-2                      -7

4                        6

5                         7

The relation is: {(–2, 1), (3, –4), (–2, –6), (4, 6), (5, 7)}

From the table, it is clear that x-coordinate values are repeated.

In other words, x = -2 twice.

Therefore, the relation of the given ordered pairs does NOT represent a function.
