Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? A = {(−4, 5), (1, −1), (2, −2), (2, 3)} B = {(2, 2), (3, −2), (9, 3), (9, −3)} @pooja195

Nnesha (nnesha):

in order to relation be a function x values shouldn't repeat

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

so the answer is b?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? A = {(−4, 5), (1, −1), (2, −2), (2, 3)} B = {(2, 2), (3, −2), (9, 3), (9, −3)} Only A Only B Both A and B Neither A nor B

Nnesha (nnesha):

(x,y) first number represent x-coordinate

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

is the final answer B?

Nnesha (nnesha):

why is it not A ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

because on this group : A = {(−4, 5), (1, −1), (2, −2), (2, 3)} , the number 2 appears twice in the x coordinate @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep that's right!! so now focus on B set

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

2 appears twice in first set right now Set B is there any x number that appears more than onc ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

no

Nnesha (nnesha):

mhmm

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

so group B is the only function?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm B = {(\color{reD}{2}, 2), (\color{reD}{3}, −2), (\color{reD}{9}, 3), (\color{reD}{9}, −3)} \] any x values appears more than once ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

oh oops! yes

Nnesha (nnesha):

^

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

so D?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

k. thx can u help with a couple more? @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'll try.
