Determine whether the following is a function. If not, explain why. {(-2, 4), (1, 7), (2, 5), (-2, 8)} yes no; There is the same domain value for each y value. no; There is more than one y value for each x value. no; There is not more than one y value for each x value.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Since x = -2 maps to both y = 4 and y = 8, this means that the given relation is NOT a function.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Keep in mind that each x must map to only EXACTLY ONE y value.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for it to be a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it the last one then

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

There is not more than one y value for each x value is false since there is more than one y value for each x value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does domain value mean?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the domain is the set of allowed inputs or x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means it cant be that either correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well it's not a function, so the first part is "no" the reason should be "there is more than one output for SOME x values" (and not all x values)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sain that the options above dont work?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, none of them truly fit the closest is "no; There is more than one y value for each x value" But it's only for SOME and not ALL x values given above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i thought the same thing....
