Question

Use numerical and graphical representations to represent whether the relation x-y^2=2 is a function.

Answer 1

it is not a function because of the \(y^2\)

Answer 2

here is a picture of the parabola.
you can see that it does not pass the "vertical line test" meaning some \(x\) values correspond to two different \(y\) values
