OpenStudy (anonymous):

first things first do you have a clue what a function is

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

A function is a relation where each value of \(x\) has only 1 associated value of \(y\). If \(x\) repeats, it must always have the same value of \(y\) with each repeat.

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

yea i know that

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

help @AlexandervonHumboldt2

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

can you help me

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

So, look at the data. That's all you need to do.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Look at A: x −2 −2 0 1 8 y 3 6 0 0 9 Does the same value of \(x\) appear more than once?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

i think the anser is maybe d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to think

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

let's just work through it on all 4, and you'll understand it. So, looking at A, did the same value of \(x\) appear more than once?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so does the same value of x come into a twice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

said the same thing

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

i have already tried to solve it but i could not figer out what the answer would be i think it is d but not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so lets go through it

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

kk

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Come on, look at this table. x −2 −2 0 1 8 y 3 6 0 0 9 Does the same value of \(x\) appear more than once? Yes or no?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

yes

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

???

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay. Do those both have the same value of \(y\) underneath them?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

yes???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Do you know how to read a table? What is the first entry in the row for x?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

-2

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

@raceter444 that's not perfect, that's incorrect :-(

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

and the first entry in the row for \(y\)? what is that?

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

3

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

that's correct. Now let's do the same thing, except give me the second entry in the row for \(x\) and the second entry in the row for \(y\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill get back to the point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im the fun cop u are the corect cop k

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

o,6

OpenStudy (rockycatsrule):

0 is x and 6 is y

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

no, that's the 3rd entry. |dw:1452799689590:dw|
