A requirement for a relation to be a function is that a certain input has to give always the same output. So, put the values you want for input and output and save one row for the pair 1, -3. Now you have that for input=1 you may have two possible outputs: +3 and -3. This is enough to say it is not a function

s what do i do now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fill two rows with whatever the pairs you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2,5,6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You already have row1: 1,+3 write: row2: Input=2, output=5 row3: input=4, output=6 row4: input=1, output=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yoe see we have forced two different outputs for the same input. For input=1 we have output=+3 (given by the problem) and output=-3 This is enough to say it is not a function. Remember "IT IS A FUNCTION IF SAME INPUT GIVES SAME OUTPUT"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so just put in what you said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that´s ok, but I hope you understand why

OpenStudy (anonymous):
