this is my last one!
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
is there something wrong here?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
you ask for a relation then ask why it's a function?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
maybe you mean example of a relation that is a function?

a relation that is a function
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes sorry!
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
ahh glad to see my mind reading powers arent rusty yet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:)
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
anyway...do you need graph? equation?

no just a written response
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
give me a polynomial..any polynomial you can think of
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and an eqaution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4xy+3x-5
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
uhh...just one variable..

o srry! 4+3x-5
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
i'll take that as \(4x^2 + 3x - 5\)
now put f(x) =
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=3
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
no.. i meant put it as f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x - 5
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
btw..i have no idea where x = 3 came from

srry im really confused
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
a function is just a polynomial equated to f(x)
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
that's why i asked you for a polynomial
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
then i told you to equate it to f(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do i have to solve the eqaution?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
f(x) = polynomial <---function
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
nope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how is it a function
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
so...now...why is it a function? you just define a function.. the definition of a function is "there is only one value of y that correspond to a certain x"
so you say, "Because for every x, there is only one corresponding y value"
as simple as that
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
got it?
