Question

Do the ordered pairs represent a function? {(2,3), (4,4), (2,5), (3,8)}.

a) No (one y-value for each x-value).
b) No (two y-values for each x-value).
c) Yes (one y-value for each x-value).
d) Yes (two y-values for each x-value).

Answer 1

The given ordered pairs {(2,3), (4,4), (2,5), (3,8)} do not represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given ordered pairs {(2,3), (4,4), (2,5), (3,8)} do not represent a function. In a function, each x-value should have only one corresponding y-value. However, in this set of ordered pairs, the x-value 2 has two different y-values, which are 3 and 5. Therefore, the answer is (b) No (two y-values for each x-value).
