The second and third diagrams represent functions

For a relation to be a function, each input (X-value) must correspond to exactly one output (Y-value). Let's analyze each diagram:

1st Diagram:

4 is associated with both 0 and 4.

9 is associated with both -1 and 5.

16 is associated with both -2 and 6.

This violates the definition of a function because each input should have a unique output. Therefore, the 1st diagram is not a function.

2nd Diagram:

Each X-value (input) is associated with a unique Y-value (output).

This satisfies the definition of a function. Therefore, the 2nd diagram is a function.

3rd Diagram:

Each X-value (input) is associated with a unique Y-value (output).

This also satisfies the definition of a function. Therefore, the 3rd diagram is a function.

Therefore,

The 1st diagram is not a function.

The 2nd diagram is a function.

The 3rd diagram is a function.
