Which relation is a function?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Can someone please explain this to me?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

didn't we cover this one already? check for x-repeats :)

MsBrains (ms-brains):

How would I do that..?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

look at the 1st graph, A) notice 2 points there they're located at -1,3 and -1, -1 notice the x, y pair -1 , 3 -1, -1 x y notice the x-value repeating two points, using the same x-value thus, is NOT a function

MsBrains (ms-brains):

So that means should be crossed out too?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, it means is not a function

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

another cheap way to do it, is doing the "vertical line test" if you draw a vertical line, through any point and the vertical line, touches other point, that is, more than one point, touched by the same vertical line, then is NOT a function

MsBrains (ms-brains):

My best educated guess is that the answer is C.

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Do you agree @jdoe0001

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm well how about not guessing? :) how about using the data? :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

test C for any x-repeats, if none,they it is a function

OpenStudy (riff-raff):

Which operation should be performed first according to the order of operations? 55 ÷ 11 + 16 • [12 • 3 + (54 ÷ 3) – 17]

MsBrains (ms-brains):

I'm seriously thinking it's C

OpenStudy (babynini):

My relations never function... xD Sorry. Had to.

OpenStudy (riff-raff):

5

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Lmao, AND THE AWARD TO BEST JOKE OF 2016 GOES TO @Babynini

OpenStudy (babynini):

heheh @Ms-Brains thank you thank you xD #witty

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Seriously though. Can you help mehh on thisss?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Okkay, that makes sense

OpenStudy (babynini):

wait. Oh my gosh. I am teaching you the wrong thing xD those are horizontal line test and that's for something different completely!!!!

MsBrains (ms-brains):

O.o WOW

OpenStudy (babynini):

A VERTICAL line test is one where no x value can have to outputs. |dw:1455329263424:dw|

OpenStudy (babynini):

|dw:1455329331829:dw| this is a vertical line. haha aii. so B is not a function because it hits more than once, see? So it's almost like what I was showing you earlier but that was for testing something else
