  • Choice A
  • Choice D
  • Choice E
  • Choice F

So basically everything but choices B and C are functions.

====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A. This is a function as there are no repeated input x values. Each input (x) leads to exactly one output (y).
  • B. This is not a function. We have the input 2 lead to more than one output (1 and 4 at the same time)
  • C. This is not a function. Similar to choice B, we have multiple outputs for a given input. In this case, x = 20 has more than one output.
  • D. This is a function. Any x input will produce only one y output. When graphed, it passes the vertical line test.
  • E. This is a function. This graph passes the vertical line test. It is not possible to draw a vertical line through more than one point on the blue curve, so that's what I mean by "passing the vertical line test".
  • F. This is a function. At any given hour (x), there is exactly one temperature (y) possible. The thermometer is not going to produce multiple readings at any one specific moment in time.
