I don't know ? I need help

@Bebong bas mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how a function is defined?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the requirement conditions for f to be a function? got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no why did you answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(1) \neq 1\] a function is defined as of each input value, you'll only get one output value. Therefore f(1) = 1 is not true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if f(1)=1 and f(1)=5, then this function never satisfies the one-to-one condition. so it won't be a function unless ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless f(1) takes only one value...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your reasoning led to a response by chance. it always might not be true
