Question

1.It included in the table, which ordered pair.(-1.4) or (4.-1), would result in a relation that is no longer a function? Explain your answer. (2 points)

Answer 1

From the table, it can be observed that corresponding to x = -1, the value of y is 2.

Relation is a function if there exist only one oputput for every input.

So if ordered pair (-1,4) is included in the table, then relation give 4 and 2 as output for same input of x = -1. Thus this violates the condition of relation to be a function.

In table there is not output value for x = 4. So if ordered pair (4,-1) is include in the table then relation is a function.

Thus ordered pair (-1,4) is included in table then relation is no longer a function.
