Given a set of ordered pairs, to find the set tha represent a function, we have to look at the x coordinates. If there are points with repeated x coordinates, then, that set does not represent a function. For example, the sets:


\begin{gathered} \mleft\lbrace(1,1\mright),(1,2),(1,3)\} \\ \mleft\lbrace(5,2\mright),(3,6),(5,8)\} \end{gathered}

cannot represent a function, while the following sets:


\begin{gathered} \mleft\lbrace1,5\mright),(3,6),(5,9)\} \\ \mleft\lbrace(8,3\mright),(6,-1),(2,0)\} \\ \mleft\lbrace(-1,5\mright),(9,4),(2,-3)\} \end{gathered}

can represent a function
