Determine which relation is a function. A. {(–3, 2), (–2, 3), (–1, 1), (0, 4), (0, 1)} B. {(–3, 3), (–2, 3), (–1, 1), (0, 4), (0, 1)} C. {(–3, 2), (–1, 3), (–1, 2), (0, 4), (1, 1)} D. {(–3, 2), (–2, 3), (–1, 2), (0, 4), (1, 1)}

If there are 2 x values with different y values then that isn't a function

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Which one do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's C

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Okay. Are there any repeating x values in any of the coordinates in letter C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean yes

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Now do the 2 x values with the same number have different y values? If your answer is yes to this question, then it is not a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they all have at least one that are the same

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

(–3, 3), (–2, 3), (–1, 1), (0, 4), (0, 1) These are the coordinates for letter B. Are there any repeating x values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Do those x values have different y values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Good job. This means that it is not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's not B and not C

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how would I get the answer all of the have one that's the same thing

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

You need to look through the choices and find the one that has no repeating x values

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

(–3, 2), (–2, 3), (–1, 2), (0, 4), (1, 1) Lets look at this one. These are from letter D. Are there any repeating x values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did all of them have one as the same as the other A and B both have (0,1) and C and D both have (1,1) and they all have (0,4)

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

(–1, 2), (1, 1) These are from letter D. Yes, one of these coordinates is (1,1). But, are the x values in these two the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Good. Then that means that this one is a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about A?

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

(–3, 2), (–2, 3), (–1, 1), (0, 4), (0, 1) Here is letter A. Are there any repeating x values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Okay. Do those two coordinates have different y values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

(0, 4), (0, 1) These are the two coordinates with the same x value. Do these two have different y values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Lets identify the x and y values of these two coordinates. (0, 4) What is the x value? And what is the y value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of (0,4)?

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

yes

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

The coordinate setup is like this (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I had to go to the bathroom

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

It's okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So could you explain to find the value of X and Y

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Okay. Coordinates are set up as follows: \[(x,y)\] I'll do an example from letter D. (–2, 3) According to the setup above the x value equals -2. After finding the x value, the remaining one is the y value. So the y value of this would be 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok that makes more sense so the answer is D?

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much could you help with 4 more?

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

your welcome and sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you want me to start a new one

OpenStudy (4everaddicted2anime):

Only if you want to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok I'll tag you
