Question

determine whether the following graph represents a function.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
not a function function

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the vertical line test

A graph represents a function if and only if every vertical line intersects the graph at most once.

Step2: Apply the vertical line test to the given graph

For any vertical line \( x = a \) (where \( a \) is a real number), we check how many times it intersects the given graph. Looking at the graph, for every vertical line, it will intersect the graph at most once. So the graph passes the vertical line test.

Answer:

Function
