Which relation is also a function? A. {(-5, 3) (6, 3) (1, 3) (2, 3)} B. {(-1, 5) (2, 6) (1, 5) (2, 8)} C. {(3, 6) (3, -2) (3, 4) (3, 0)} D. {(0, -2) (1, 7) (2, 3) (0, -1)}

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

A since there are is only one y value for every x value

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

As you will see that in A that there is no 2 the same first coordinate of every pair

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me identify the relation that is also a function? A. {(0, -1) (1, -2) (2, -3) (-1, 2)} B. {(1, 0) (2, 3) (3, -1) (1, 5)} C. {(4, 2) (4, -3) (9, 3) (9, -3)} D. {(5, 4) (5, 1) (5, 3) (0, 5)}

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Ok you guess this time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok one sec

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok let me tell you what you should be looking out for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok awesome

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok lets take for example in A the first paired coordinate is (0,-1) 0 is the x-coordinate and -1 is the y-coordinate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Now if you see 2 the same x coordinates in one group and diff y coordinates then its not a function

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Lets look at B

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

B. {(1, 0) (2, 3) (3, -1) (1, 5)} As you can see in this group it has (1,0) and (1,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup so that cant be right

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

exactly so which one would be a function?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Is A a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome that is really easy actually just look for the same number twice and its wrong YEAH haha

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ok lets go thru another exanple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice work :) Nice to have helpful people around, isn't it :) @swissgirl, now just teach @elizabeth.a.fairweather how to get excited like that! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. {(1.5, 4) (2, 4) (2.5, 5) (3, 5) (2, 6)} B. {(-1, 3) (-1, 2) (-1, 4) (-1, 5) (-1, 6)} C. {(-2, 0) (1, 3) (-2, 1) (1, -3) (-2, 6) }D. {(1, 7) (2, 3) (4, 10) (6, 12) (8, 15)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it cant be a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously not b haha

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not c its definetely D

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Thanks @JakeV8 :)

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

righhtttttt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

alrighty so you got it. Great work @elizabeth.a.fairweather

OpenStudy (anonymous):
