D. The set of people with Social Security Cards and the set of Social Security numbers.
Is the scenario that exhibits a function relation.
A function is a set of ordered pairs wherein each x-element has only ONE y-element associated with it.
Choice D is a function because only one person corresponds to a single specific social security number.
This is a typical work problem in algebra. The approach to this is using the equation: Rt = 1, where R is the rate per person working, t is the amount of time worked by an individual. All their rates must equal to 1. The solution is as follows:
12/x + 15/x = 1
Solving for x,
x = 27 hours
So, if they work together, they can finish the work in 27 hours.
