I AM GIVIN OUT MEDALS FAM Determine if the relationship is a function. (3,5) (10,-5) (-4,8) (0,5) * Yes, it is a function or No, it is not a function

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

do you know what the definition of a function is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its a relations between a set of inputs and a seet of outputs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

relation^ set^

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

good. but there is one thing that is the most important and it is that in a function a certain x-value cannot be repeated. for instance: (1,3) (2,5) (1,-4) is not a function because the x-value of 1 is being repeated twice. in simpler terms, in a function a certain x-value cannot have two y-values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

so using this info, is this a function or a relation to you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its not a function

OpenStudy (notshh):

lol. nice intro to your question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ami right

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

look at it carefully. do you notice any x-values repeating?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that makes it a function? if its repeating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no wait the y values are repeating

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

great observation!

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

so now what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a function

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

great job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg can you help with another

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

i'll try...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determine if the relationship is a function. (0,1.5) ( 2, 2.1) (0,4) (6, .5) * Yes, it is a Function or No, it is not a Function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think that its is not a function

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

you're right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i have one more that i don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the following relation a function? y=3x * Yes, it is a function. No, it is not a function.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

well let's see with a couple of x-values that we can plug in |dw:1453515205780:dw|

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

fill in the y-values by plugging the x-values in the equation \(y = 3x\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand how to plug in the values

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

|dw:1453515393126:dw|
