Which of the following relations is a function? A. (10, 5), (3, -9), (9, 0), (10, -5) B. (5, 10), (-9, 3), (0, 9), (0, -5) C. (5, 10), (-9, 3), (0, 9), (-5, 10) D. (0, 10), (-9, 3), (0, 9), (-9, -5)

help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For every value of x there can be only one value for y for it to be a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ordered pairs are set up in form (x,y) with that being said it is not a function IF two ordered pairs in a set has the same x value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the answer even though thats not help

@KlOwNlOvE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cw4260 Look at the x-values of all the pairs in the options, see which one has ALL different one's. Like in Option A: (10, 5), (3, -9), (9, 0), (10, -5) The x-values are 10, 3, 9, and 10. There are 2 of the same x-values, which is 10. And since it has 2 x-values it is NOT a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what's your answer going to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the x-values here? (5, 10), (-9, 3), (0, 9), (-5, 10)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5,-9,0and-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right @iGreen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, B has 2 x-values with 0 in it..so it's not a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5,-9,0and-5 Are any of those the saem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which ones?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5and 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, those are different..-5 and 5 aren't the same thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So there aren't any one's that are the same..so what's your answer going to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea true. c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, C is your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
