hint: if you have repeating x values, then it's NOT a function

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

each x input needs to have EXACTLY ONE y output for it to be a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one isn't a function?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes because of those repeating x values of 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if x = 1, is y equal to 1? equal to 2? or 3? which one? this confusion what y is equal to means we don't have a function
