Is the following relation a function? x y -1 -2 2 3 3 1 6 -2 Yes No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to define a function?

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

No the numbers shown are not a repeating order -1 +1 -2 -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answers is no i get it now @AccidentalAiChan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not how you define a function. graph them and do the vertical line test. that will make it obvious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so its yes or no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not giving you the answer lol. graph it and do the vertical line test and think about your x and y points

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

Actually, there are two ways of doing it. One way is the vertical line test, the other is simply looking at the x and y table.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. but explaining the x and y points is easier once he graphs it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for the answer lol

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

You're welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we give the answer. we are failing you. and his answer isn't correct. because it passes the vertical line test and there aren't any repeating x values

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

It's easier explaining it like this. a function is a special relationship between values. As an example, we will do this one: y = 2x + 1 Now, let's see which table is the correct one for this function. X Y -1 -1 5 9 2 5 or X Y -1 -1 5 11 2 5 To find out which represents the function, we need to do the math. -1 x 2 = -2. Add 1 Y(1) = -1 5 x 2 = 10. Add 1 Y(2) = 11 2 x 2 = 4. Add 1 Y(3) = 5 So now we know that the second table is the correct one. This is the easiest way to solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is no

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

Basically. Another thing to know is for a function, each number can only be shown once. if -2 is the output for -1 then it CAN NOT be the output for -6. This is one important rule that @lonnie455rich forgot to mention, which basically cancels her answer that yes it is a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yes or no

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

It is the most simple way to tell. The answer is no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much

The domain of the following relation: R: {(3, -2), (1, 2), (-1, -4), (-1, 2)} is {-1, 1, 3} {-1, -1, 1, 3} {-4, -2, 2, 2} {-4, -2, 2}

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

You're welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me in this one too

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

A. The domain is your x points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your smart

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

I'm majoring in Algebra, so I am pretty well familiar with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

An ordered pair is the output (y) value of the relation the input (x) value of the relation a set of points that pair input values with output values x and y values written in the form (x, y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there can be 2 y but not 2 x's you aren't thinking correctly at the moment

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

An ordered pair is the coordinates that you will be graphing. They are ordered in the format (x , y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its D

Purebred dogs are first assigned the same litter number until they are individually registered with a name. Then the dogs will be assigned a unique registration number with a dog registry. Many people choose to have a microchip implanted in the dog so that it can be read to immediately find the dog's owner. Which of the following relations is not a function? (registration number, litter number) (microchip number, registration number) (litter number, microchip number) (microchip number, litter number)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is my last one

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

(litter number, microchip number) Is not a function, because the same litter number can be assigned to multiple dogs with different microchip numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

If you need anything else, just message me. I'll be willing to help without other users interfering anytime.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks i appreciate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u get my message

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

No, I haven't. Are you enrolled in FLVS?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

Which teacher? I have Mrs. Stefani

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ms. Price

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

She's a pretty nice teacher ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The domain of the following relation: R: {(3, -2), (1, 2), (-1, -4), (-1, 2)} is {-1, 1, 3} {-1, -1, 1, 3} {-4, -2, 2, 2} {-4, -2, 2}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you've had her

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

My best friend did. The domain is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The range of the following relation: R: {(3, -5), (1, 2), (-1, -4), (-1, 2)} is {-1, 1, 3} {-5, -4, 2} {-1, -1, 1, 3} {-4, -5, 2, 2}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope im not bothering you but im like really bad at math

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

B.

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

It's just fine to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the following relation a function? Circle centered at the origin with radius 1 Yes No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at this point. it seems someone should be interfering. but I digress.

OpenStudy (accidentalaichan):

Yes, it is.
