MEDALL!!!! Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? A = {(1, –2), (3, –5), (5, 2), (7, 5)} B = {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} Only A Only B Both A and B Neither A nor B

I think only A but I'm not to sure

OpenStudy (xxlyh):

do you mind helping me with one more? xD

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

yah sure

OpenStudy (xxlyh):

If y = 5x – 4, which of the following sets represents possible inputs and outputs of the function, represented as ordered pairs? {(0, –4), (2, 6), (4, 20)} {(0, –4), (2, 6), (4, 16)} {(0, 4), (2, 6), (4, 16)} {(0, 4), (2, –6), (4, 20)}

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

um ok hold on I have to write this down and figure it out

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

Do you know the definition of a function?

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

it is b for sure

OpenStudy (xxlyh):

thank you for your help!!

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

yup np

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

B is wrong for sure...

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

how prove it

OpenStudy (jsizzie101):

i just worked it out ik it is right

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

any input can have only one output

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

i.e. a function can be one-to-one or many-to-one but not one-to-many
