Question

determine whether the graph represents a function. if it does represent a function, give its domain and range.

Explanation:

Identify the coordinates of the plotted points

$$ \{(-2, 1), (3, 3), (3, -2), (5, 2), (5, 3)\} $$

Apply the vertical line test

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Determine if the relation is a function

$$ \text{Since vertical lines } x = 3 \text{ and } x = 5 \text{ intersect more than one point, it is not a function.} $$

Answer:

The graph does not represent a function because it fails the vertical line test (the inputs \(x = 3\) and \(x = 5\) are each mapped to multiple \(y\)-values).
