Question

Is {(–6, –2), (–2, 6), (0, 3), (3, 5)} a function? Explain the response.

Answer 1

if the first numbers do not repeat, the answer is yes

Answer 2

since \(-6,-2,0,3\) are all different, the answer is "yes it is a function"

Answer 3

The reason why it is a function, in mathematical terms, is that for each "x" value, there is only one "y" value. Here, "x" is a true independent variable that determines at most one "y" value.
