Answer:

{(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)} and {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)}

Explanation:

you really want to think of a function as a vending machine. if you press B12 on a vending machine because thats where the chips are, only the chips should come out. in a function, the input value aka x (B12, what youre putting in) should only have one output value aka y, (the chips)

an example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)}

an important thing to remember is that one output value can belong to multiple input values. there can be chips (output) in both B12 and C12 (inputs) BUT as i said before, there CANNOT be two outputs for one input. B12 cannot give you both chips and a drink.

using this, another example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,2) (5,2)}

an example of an non function would be {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)} because x, the input value, has multiple output values which is not possible. the output of 1 can not be 2 and 4 at the same time which we can see in the (x,y) coordinates.
