Answers:

  1. False
  2. True

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on (4,5) and (4,-4)

The input x = 4 leads to simultaneous outputs y = 5 and y = -4 at the same time. This is not allowed in a function. For a function to be possible, each input x must lead to exactly one y output.

Therefore, this given relation is not a function.

-----------

Domain = set of possible x inputs

Range = set of possible y outputs

The statement "An element from the domain is paired with more than one element from the range" basically means we have an x value paired with more than one y value. Therefore, this statement is true since I mentioned (4,5) and (4,-4) earlier.
