5. Which set of ordered pairs represent y as a function of x? A. {(-9, 2), (0, 6), (1, -2), (-3, 6)} B. {(-1, 0), (4, 3), (-7, -3) (-1, -8)} C. {(3, 2), (-4, -2), (3, 1), (-4, 1)} D. {(5, 4), (2, 3), (1, 1), (2, 4)} http://prntscr.com/7abeva

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you the ndefinitio of the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean? yes. is my original answer (c) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a set of ordered pairs represent a function if there are two such pairs that (a,b) and (a,c), it holds that b=c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get this. This is like my first time doing algebra opposed to geometry so I'm new

OpenStudy (anonymous):

obviously in c) it doesn't hold, since thete are pairs (3,2) and (3,1). Same first number, different second one. So it is not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

imagine that the two numbers of each pair, represent the x and y of some function. So what can not happen is that same x has two or more y asigned to it. Because then the definition is not consistent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh ok A lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with a few more I didn't get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
