Question

Does the graph below represent a function

A. Yes
B. No
C. Sometimes
D. Not enough information ​

Answer 1

A

Yes the graph represents a function

Answer 2

Explanation:

Yes, it is a function.

The reason for this is because it passes what is called the Vertical Line Test, notice how if you draw a completely straight line down, it will only make contact with the graph one time. It is hard to tell, but even though it looks like the graph stops at x=±3, the graph is actually approaching the values ever so slightly, therefore maintaining the conditions for the vertical line test.

The answer is A. Yes.
