Which of the following expressions represents a function?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

x2 + y2 = 9 {(4, 2), (4, –2), (9, 3), (9, –3)} x = 4 2x + y = 5

OpenStudy (fruitcakeninja):

a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one outpu

OpenStudy (fruitcakeninja):

An example is the function that relates each real number x to its square x2.

OpenStudy (fruitcakeninja):

So take what you can outve that info

OpenStudy (prince1342):

hmm ok

OpenStudy (prince1342):

im still a little lost

OpenStudy (fruitcakeninja):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics) This article should help you

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

check this condition for each

OpenStudy (prince1342):

So it would be C?

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

for one x there should be maximum one y

OpenStudy (sparrow2):

in c for x=4 there can be infinite y-s

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Oh in that case it is either A or D

OpenStudy (.mehek.):

A would make a circle, which is not a function, because x values repeat with different y values |dw:1465918729000:dw|

OpenStudy (.mehek.):

So A is not a function
