Question

Is this relation {(-2,3), (0,1), (2,-4), (3,-1), (2,4)} a function?

A) Yes
B) No
C) Cannot be determined
D) Yes, but only partially

Answer 1

No, The relation is not a function because the input 2 maps to two different outputs, violating the definition of a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a set of ordered pairs in which each input corresponds to exactly one output.

To determine if the given relation is a function, we need to check if each input has a unique output.

In this relation, the input value of 2 is associated with two different output values, -4 and 4.

Therefore, the given relation is not a function.
