- is the following a function?
- {(5, -1), (0, 3), (-2, -4), (6, -1), (-2, 3)}
- {(9, 2), (-4, -1), (0, -3), (-7, 6), (5, -2)}
To determine if a relation is a function, we use the vertical line test for graphs (a vertical line intersects the graph at most once) and the definition of a function for tables/mappings/ordered pairs (each input has exactly one output). Let’s analyze each part:
1. Graphs (Is it a function?):
- 1) Circle: A vertical line will intersect the circle at two points. Fails the vertical line test. $\boldsymbol{\text{No}}$.
- 2) Two intersecting lines: A vertical line will intersect one of the lines at two points. Fails the vertical line test. $\boldsymbol{\text{No}}$.
- 3) Scattered points: No vertical line intersects more than one point. Passes the vertical line test. $\boldsymbol{\text{Yes}}$.
- 4) Scattered points: No vertical line intersects more than one point. Passes the vertical line test. $\boldsymbol{\text{Yes}}$.
2. Tables/Mappings (Is it a function?):
- 5) Table: Input $x=4$ has two outputs ($8$ and $-2$). Fails the “one input → one output” rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{No}}$.
- 6) Mapping (oval diagram): Input $9$ maps to two outputs, and input $-6$ maps to two outputs. Fails the “one input → one output” rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{No}}$.
- 7) Input-Output Table: Each input ($0, 2, 4, 6$) has exactly one output. Passes the rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{Yes}}$.
- 8) Input-Output Table: Inputs $3, 5, 7$ each have one output (note: $5$ and $7$ map to $4$ and $6$—multiple inputs can share an output, but each input has only one output). Passes the rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{Yes}}$.
3. Ordered Pairs (Is it a function?):
- First set: $\{(5, -1), (0, 3), (-2, -4), (6, -1), (-2, 3)\}$: Input $-2$ has two outputs ($-4$ and $3$). Fails the “one input → one output” rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{No}}$.
- Second set: $\{(9, 2), (-4, -1), (0, -3), (-7, 6), (5, -2)\}$: Each input ($9, -4, 0, -7, 5$) has exactly one output. Passes the rule. $\boldsymbol{\text{Yes}}$.
Final Answers (Summarized):
| Item | Is it a function? |
|---|---|
| 2) | No |
| 3) | Yes |
| 4) | Yes |
| 5) | No |
| 6) | No |
| 7) | Yes |
| 8) | Yes |
| First ordered pair set | No |
| Second ordered pair set | Yes |
(Note: If you need only specific items, adjust based on the question’s focus. The key is applying the vertical line test or “one input → one output” rule.)
