medal and fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tables below show the values of y corresponding to different values of x: Which statement is true for the tables? 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 a function.

Do you know how to find out if a table is a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you just plot the points on a graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you could do that, but a easier way is to look at your x's and y's, two x's can't be with the same y ( like (5,2) (5,6) ) however, one x, can be assigned to two y's... Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really can u explain it any better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, in table 1, the points are (3,1) (3,0) and (2,0) Your (x) values are 3, 3, and 2. The (y) values are 1,0,0. The (x) value 3, goes to a (y) TWICE. which means its not a function because if you plot it, they would be on the same line..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OOOOOOOhhh ok what you were saying is that the x can't go into the why more than once

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right! So if two 3's go to two y's it isn't a function, do you understand now? (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so do you think it would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But remember, one (x) CAN go with 2 (y) because they wouldn't be in a vertical line, it would be more a angle where there isn't two points in the same line. Yes, the answer would be B (:

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 a function

thank you
