Which of the following is not a function?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: B

Number on the left: x-value
Number on the right: y-value

If there are 2 y-values for one x-value it is NOT considered a function.

For instance in the answer:

(2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)

You can clearly see that the x-values (2 & 3) repeat more than once; therefore, it is NOT a function.

On the other hand if you have 2 DIFFERENT x-values for the same y-value it IS A FUNCTION.

For ex D: (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)

As you can see there are 4 DIFFERENT x-values with same y-value; therefore it is A FUNCTION

To make it easier:

If x-values appear more than once = NOT A FUNCTION

If x-values appear only ONCE = FUNCTION

Remember: y-values are ALLOWED to repeat

I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first thing we know is that all the answers equal 99, so we cannot cross any answer off, however, what we want to know is what answer (after distribution) looks like 36 + 63...

A.) 11(3 + 6) > 33 + 66

Does 33+66 look like 36+63?

B.) 9(4 + 7) > 36 + 63

Does 36+63 look like 36+63?

YES

C.) 11(4 + 5) > 44 + 55

Does 44+55 look like 36+63?

D.) 3(15 + 18) > 45 + 54

Does 45+54 look like 36+63?

So...

The answer is: B.) 9(4 + 7)
