Question

The mapping shows a relationship between input and output values.

A mapping diagram shows a relation, using arrows, between input and output for the following ordered pairs: (negative 5, 0), (2, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 3), (4, negative 2), (4, 2), (6, negative 1).
Which ordered pair could be removed to make this relation a function?
(–5, 0)
(–1, –3)
(4, –2)
(6, –1)

Answer 1

Answer: (4, –2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(4, –2)

Explanation:

A function has associated only one output for each input. In the ordered pairs, we can see that for the input 4 there are two associated outputs, which are -2 and 2. Then, to make the relation a function, one of them must be removed.
