@MrNood @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

are you able to draw a vertical line anywhere such that it crosses the purple curve more than once?

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

yesw

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where?

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

nowhere

OpenStudy (mrnood):

if each value of x has only ONE corresponding value of y then it IS a function (this is another way of looking at @jim_thompson5910 's answer)

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

so it yes?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

if you've understood the definition, and are happy with your answer - then go with it

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

cut i dont

OpenStudy (mrnood):

what don't you understand?

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

everything

OpenStudy (thats_kyy):

its no

OpenStudy (mrnood):

hmmm - that's a LOT to explain in a simple text box. read my definition again: if each value of x has only ONE corresponding value of y then it IS a function what do oyu not understand about that (btw it IS either yes or no - so you're almost there)

OpenStudy (mrnood):

if you take ANY point on the x axis - can you find just ONE value for y on the graph?
