Graphical function

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1435070122895:dw|

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

graph is \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &a.) \ f(x)=-f(x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &b.) \ f(x)=f(-x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &c.) \ \normalsize \text{neither even nor odd function} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &d.) \ f(x)\ \normalsize \text{doesn't exist at atleast one point of the domain.} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

What do you believe the answer is?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

its c or d

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

This is a straight line; would have to go with C based upon structure

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but the answer in the book is d.)

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

The slope is undefined that's why I believe it was C

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Bit tricky due to it being undefined

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yeah f(x) must output a single value for it to be called a "function"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

from the graph it is clear that f(3) doesn't have a single value

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

so which one is correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'd go with D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the given graph does not represent a function

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it means function doesnt exist
