Question 2 of 15
Is this relation a function? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

the only criteria, really, to be a function is to assign exactly 1 y-value to every valid x-value. not 2 or 0 y-values.

we see here, x = 2 has one assigned y-value : y = 3.

x = 4 has y = 9.

x = 6 has y = 10.

x = 9 has y = 5.

there is no indication that there are more valid x-values.

each x-value used has exactly 1 y-value.

so, the criteria is fulfilled. it is a function.
