Question

Pablo grew a plant for school and recorded the growth of the plant

each week. He wrote ordered pairs to organize his data: (1, 5), (2, 8),
(3, 8), (4, 11), (5, 15).
Is this relation a function? Explain.

Answer 1

Yes. the relation is a function

Explanation:

Here, we want to check if the relation is a function

if a relation is a function, then every x-values (input values) will have one y-value

No two output values (y values) will have a single x value

Looking at the pairs;

It is a function

Although two x values have same y value; 2 and 3 to 8; no two y values have same x value

Hence, the ordered pairs is a function
