Which of the following relations is a function? (7, 1), (-1, 4), (3, 1), (7, 2) (3, 0), (-1, 3), (7, 1), (-1, 5) (3, 4), (-1, 2), (7, 1), (-6, 2) (3, 4), (-1, 6), (3, 3), (-6, 2)

@confluxepic @TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (igreen):

Only 1 x-value

OpenStudy (igreen):

Which one has only 1 x-value? @smart8thgrader

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

plz which one is it

OpenStudy (igreen):

You need to participate.

OpenStudy (igreen):

(x-value, y-value)

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

Okay A B C D

OpenStudy (igreen):

First number in the parenthesis is an x-value.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It is a function if the x elements don't repeat twice for the y elements, but the y's can repeat. Meaning (2,3) (3,5) see (x,y) x's can't repeat.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What's fascinating is, 1 is unique though, but you won't have to consider that :P

OpenStudy (smart8thgrader):

so what is it iam confused

OpenStudy (igreen):

Tell me the x-values in the first option.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Just to make sense of it, lets look at your D) (3, 4), (-1, 6), (3, 3), (-6, 2) you see your values (x,y) in all of them right? As I said the x's cannot repeat. You can see the 3's repeated twice, (3,4) and (3,3) meaning it's NOT a function.

|dw:1427412973204:dw| This is a function, you can't have more than one x values but you can for y values
