OpenStudy (mhchen):

It's NOT a function if there's 2 OR MORE y-values for any x-value. Basically, if there's a repeat of a number in "domain" then it's NOT a function. Otherwise it would be a function.

Directrix (directrix):

The same x cannot match up with two different y values for that x. In relation A, the 5 elements of the domain all match up with w BUT no single X is matched up with two different values for that x. Conclusion: Relation A is a function.

Directrix (directrix):

@burberry22 On relation 2, do you see a single x that is matched up with two different y values for that x?

Directrix (directrix):

The x values are the domain. The y values are the range.

Directrix (directrix):

I can help you with this but I need for you to participate. Look at relation 2 and see what you think the answer is.

OpenStudy (burberry22):

i thikn its a function

OpenStudy (burberry22):

sooo? relation 2 is a function

OpenStudy (burberry22):

@directrix

Directrix (directrix):

>> relation 2 is a function Yes

OpenStudy (burberry22):

relation 3 is not a function ithink?

Directrix (directrix):

Relation 3 has and x of 5 going to both t and w. You are correct. Relation 3 is not a function.

Directrix (directrix):

What is your thinking on relation 4? @burberry22

OpenStudy (burberry22):

relation 4 is not a function

Directrix (directrix):

You are looking, I think, at the range and seeing where it connects in the domain. That is not what we need to do. Look at the x values and see if the same x goes to two different ys for that x.

OpenStudy (burberry22):

oh isee what your saying so ralation 4 is a function

OpenStudy (burberry22):

and also can you help me with 2 more questions?

Directrix (directrix):

x and w are two different domain values going to 7 in the range. That is okay. Because the exact same x is not going to two different values for that x.

Directrix (directrix):

Relation 4 is a function.

Directrix (directrix):

> and also can you help me with 2 more questions? I will try to help.

OpenStudy (burberry22):

OpenStudy (burberry22):

relation 1 is not a function?

Directrix (directrix):

>> relation 1 is not a function? Correct.

Directrix (directrix):

What about relation 2?

OpenStudy (burberry22):

relation 2 would be a relation

Directrix (directrix):

>>relation 2 would be a relation But is it a function or not?

Directrix (directrix):

Paper goes to x in the range. Paper also goes to t in the range. Therefore, relation 2 is not a function. @burberry22

OpenStudy (burberry22):

relation 3

OpenStudy (burberry22):

is a relation?

Directrix (directrix):

I think you meant to post "is a function."

Directrix (directrix):

Is relation 4 a function?

OpenStudy (burberry22):

nope

OpenStudy (burberry22):

@directix

OpenStudy (burberry22):

@directrix

Directrix (directrix):

Is relation 4 a function? Yes, it is a function. The same x is not paired with the same y value for that x. @burberry22

Directrix (directrix):

Post the next new problem in a new thread, please. @burberry22
