what is the relation {(3,5),(-4,5),(-5,0),(1,1),)4,0)} a function?explain. Please help me.

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Hi dear please help me😭

"Relation: A relation is simply a set of ordered pairs."

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Ok

pooja195 (pooja195):

@zepdrix can you explain it to them ._. im kinda fuzzy on this stuff ;-;

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

This are the sets of coordinates and I have to know weather they are function or not?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So you have a relation :) Let me give you an example of a relation that is `not a function`:\[\large\rm \{~(2,3),~(2,4),~(3,5)~\}\]See how the number 2 is being mapped to the 3, but also to the 4? In order for a relation to be a function, the first number needs to go to a `single value`, it can't go to multiple different values.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

So for your problem:\[\large\rm \{~(3,5),~(-4,5),~(-5,0),~(1,1),~(4,0)~\}\]Any ideas? :) Do we have the first number in the coordinate pair repeating at all?

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Ok

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Nop

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in a function, no x value repeats

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Nope! So it looks like we have no problems then! Function! :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ya, that is a simpler way to say it ^ I like that.

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

What reason should I give for this then?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

That mean it is a function right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm, I'm not sure what type of language you're familiar with. The elements from our first components of our ordered pairs are all paired with a `single` element in the second component. We don't have anything from the first component repeating. Something like that maybe? :\ mm

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Thank you Zepdrix,MEO and pooka every body for helping.

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

Ok lolthanks anyway

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np :)

OpenStudy (arihangdu):

@MEO how to explain this?
