How to solve
A relation is a function if every x-value has only one y-value, so check whether any x-value repeats with a different y; if it does, the answer is No. To find f(x) from a table, find the pair with that x-value and read its y-value.
Example
Is the relation in the table a function? (Yes or No)
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 7 | 13 |
| 4 | 6 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 11 |
Answer: Yes
| x | y |
|---|---|
| 2 | 4 |
| 5 | 4 |
| 3 | 9 |
| 2 | 18 |
Not quite. The answer is
💡 The input x = 2 appears twice, once with output 4 and once with output 18. A function gives each input only one output, so this is not a function: No.
✓ Correct!
