MEDAL TO WHOEVER ANSWERS which relation is a function? A. {(–3, 4), (–2, 5), (0, 9), (0, 12)} B. {(8, –1), (2, –1), (3, 8), (2, 5)} C. {(1, 2), (1, 5), (1, –1), (1, 4)} D. {(7, 12), (1, –5), (3, –10), (2, –5)}

Do you know what a function is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A function is a special relationship between values: Each of its input values gives back exactly one output value. It is often written as "f(x)" where x is the value you give it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay but I still dont understand how to find a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So basically the one, with all different outputs, would be the answer. Lets see..Look at the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x can only have one y in (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in {(–3, 4), (–2, 5), (0, 9), (0, 12)} you have 9 and 12 for 0 so its not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understanding it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would help a lot if you made an x/y table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so tell me now whats the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct :)

thank you so much! (:
