Answer:

If X repeats and y does not it is not an example of a function. But if the y repeats and has two different x values that can be known as a function.

For an example ( 1 , 3) and (1, 4) thats not an example of a function because the x value is repeating but if its ( 1, 4) and (2,4) a thats

a function because no x value is repeating the x value is known as an independent value. Does that make sense?

"This relation is definitely a function because every x-value is unique and is associated with only one value of y. So for a quick summary, if you see any duplicates or repetitions in the x-values, the relation is not a function."
