The tables below show the values of y corresponding to different values of x: Table A x 3 2 1 y 1 0 0 Table B x 3 5 5 y -2 1 2 Which statement is true for the tables?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Both Table A and Table B represent functions. Both Table A and Table B do not represent functions. Table A does not represent a function but Table B represents a function. Table A represents a function but Table B does not represent

OpenStudy (igreen):

For one of those tables to be considered a function, it can't have two of the same x-values..so is Table A a function or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Table A says that the x-values are 3, 2, and 1. Are any of those the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just kidding i was looking at it wrong. oops. sorry

OpenStudy (igreen):

Um, okay.. Are any of the values 3, 2, and 1 the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so it's a function. A function needs to have all its x-values unique.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now, look at Table B's x-values: 3, 5, and 5. Are any of those the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so is it a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be the last answer?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep!
