Question

There are two outputs of 24. Does this help you determine whether the relation is a function? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes. The reasoning is that in a function, you can only have one outcome. The outcomes can be the same though. Think of it like a machine, I put one input (24) and if I have two outcomes it gets jammed. So this is not a function.

Answer 2

This does help you find whether it is a function or not. Since 24 has two outputs, it is not a function.

Explanation:

The reason is because for a function to be a function, there must be one input for one out put, it can't have two different outputs.
