Question

Which of these statements best describes the relation shown in Item 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is a many-to-one relation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for relation

Required

What type of function is it?

The relation can be represented as:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ \\-5\\-2\\1\\5\end{array}\right]$         $\left[\begin{array}{c}y\\ \\10\\11\\4\\10\end{array}\right]$

Where

$x = domain$ and $y = range$

Notice that the range has an occurrence of 10 (twice)

i.e.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-5,10)$ and $(x_2,y_2) = (5,10)$

In function and relations, when two different values in the domain point to the same value in the range implies that, the relation is many to one.
