Answer 1

Please check the explanation below.

Explanation:

• We know that a binary relation between two sets is termed as a function which associates every element of the first set to exactly one element of the second set.

In other words, in order for relation to be a function, we must make sure there must be no repetition of 'x' coordinate values, as it would violate the fundamental definition of a function.

A) (2, 5), (5, 7), (7, 9)

Here, the x-coordinates are: 2, 5, and 7

At x = 2, y = 5

At x = 5, y = 7

At x = 7, y = 9

• As there is no repetition of x-coordinates.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (2, 5), (5, 7), (7, 9) represent the function.

B) (2, 3), (1, 4), (2, 8),(0, 1)

Here, the x-coordinates are: 2, 1, 2 and 0

At x = 2, y = 3

At x = 1, y = 4

At x = 2, y = 8

At x = 0, y = 1

Please observe that the x-coordinate values i.e. x=2 are repeated.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (2, 3), (1, 4), (2, 8),(0, 1) does not represent the function.

C) (4, 8), (5, 8), (6, 8)

Here, the x-coordinates are: 4,5 and 6

At x = 4, y = 8

At x = 5, y = 8

At x = 6, y = 8

• As there is no repetition of x-coordinates.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (4, 8), (5, 8), (6, 8) represent the function.

• Please note that it does not matter if y-values are repeated. Just remember, we can not have repeated x-values.

D) (-1, 4), (0, -1), (8, 3)

Here, the x-coordinates are: -1, 0, and 8

At x = -1, y = 4

At x = 0, y = -1

At x = 8, y = 3

• As there is no repetition of x-coordinates.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (-1, 4), (0, -1), (8, 3) represent the function.

E) (1, 8), (8, 1), (1, 3)

Here, the x-coordinates are: 1, 8, and 1

At x = 1, y = 8

At x = 8, y = 1

At x = 1, y = 3

Please observe that the x-coordinate values i.e. x=1 are repeated.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (1, 8), (8, 1), (1, 3) does not represent the function.

F) (9, 0), (9, 1), (9, 2), (9, 3)

Here, the x-coordinates are: 9, 9,9 and 9

At x = 9, y = 0

At x = 9, y = 1

At x = 9, y = 2

At x = 9, y = 3

Please observe that the x-coordinate values i.e. x=9are repeated.

Thus, the coordinate pairs (9, 0), (9, 1), (9, 2), (9, 3) does not represent the function.
