Question

For each representation of a relationship, determine if it is a function or not.

Answer 1

Answer:

e is a function; f is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

All functions must pass the vertical line test. this means that the when those points are plotted, no two points are on the same vertical line. You can tell if they are on the same vertical line by their x-coordinate. If two points have the same x-coordinate, then they are on the same vertical line. This means that the if two points have the same x-coordinate in the relationship, it is not a function. In e, the x-coordinates are 0, 4, 8, and 3. In f, the x-coordinates are 0, 4, 0, and 6. In e, all the x-coordinates are different, so it is a function. In f, however, 0 is a repeated x-coordinate, so it is not a function.
