Which of the following is an example of a function?Answer {(-1, 0), (-1, 3), (3, 9), (5, 10)} {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 8), (4, 10)} {(4, 6), (5, 9), (4, 7)} {(0, 2), (0, 3), (1, 5), (4, 5)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The same x can not have more than one y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A than

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea totally

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@petewe yeah? thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x,y) For example let's use A {(-1, 0), (-1, 3), (3, 9), (5, 10)} the first one has x=-1 and y=0 the second one has x=-1 and y=3 so that's not a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@RyanL. A is the answer I got it already but thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why because x=-1 has more than one values y=0 and y=3 A is not the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My fault I thought it was from least to great... xp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah A is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no didnt you read what I said?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Disagreeing without proof or evidence is as reliable as wikipedia :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C looks like a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i disagree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you tell me why c is a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause their postive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I said that a function has a distinct only one y value for every x value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@richyw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you prove that please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you at least try to make an educated guess with the information I gave you @ramirokool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay than D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is harsh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AccessDenied help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why was i issued a warning?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AccessDenied

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

A function is simply defined as a relation where each input has exactly one output. So, if we have any situations where one input/x-value is related to two or more y-values, we have no function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, alright.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

So, in terms of points, we cannot have a situation like: (x, a), (x, b) appear where a=/=b. We just want the relation that has none of those issues^. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks that really does, ahh I hate math But I gotta do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really wished I knew which of the options are/./.

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

You're welcome. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AccessDenied B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

educated guess

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

Yes, B is correct. Note how it is the only one without points like (1, 1) and (1, 2), which means "if i have x=1, which y does my function give me?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand thanks so much! (:
