Which relation is function? A. (3,-2), (4,6), (-2,6), (3,1) B. (-1,4), (3,2), (4,-2), (2,4) C. (2,-7), (-8,2),(2,4), (-1,5) D. (2,2), (-3,-4), ,(-3,1), (-2,1)

OpenStudy (freckles):

which of the relations above have more than one ordered pair with the same x but different y

OpenStudy (freckles):

Like if I listed {(3,4),(3,6)} this would not be a function because this relation has more than one ordered pair with the same x but different y

OpenStudy (freckles):

{(3,4),(6,3)} would be a function because there is not more than one ordered pair with the same x and different y

OpenStudy (freckles):

So look at the first relation {(3,-2),(4,6),(-2,6),(3,1)} Do any two points (or more) have a common x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes (3,-2) , (3,1)

OpenStudy (freckles):

and they have a different y so by what I said is this relation a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it would not

OpenStudy (freckles):

no it isn't a function (very food)

OpenStudy (freckles):

good* (hungry I am I guess)

OpenStudy (freckles):

what about the 2nd one?

OpenStudy (freckles):

if you don't see a common x you don't have to worry then about the other part if you don't see a common x, it is a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. does not have a common function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (freckles):

a common x ? yes it doesn't have a common x so it is a function?
