Which of the following expressions represents a function? A.) y = x2 B.) {(9, 2), (4, −2), (5, 3), (9, −4)} C.) x = −3 D.) x2 = 25 − y2 <--- I think

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

and no!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it does not represent a function because the \(y\) term is squared

OpenStudy (misty1212):

which means one x can have two y's

OpenStudy (misty1212):

B is not a function because the 9 repeats

OpenStudy (misty1212):

C is not a function because it is a vertical line, which fails the vertical line test spectacularly

OpenStudy (misty1212):

that leaves?

So that mean it's A, thank you so much!!!
