Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine if each relation is a function, we need to examine whether each input (first element in each ordered pair) has a unique output (second element in each ordered pair). If an input has more than one output, it is not a function. Let's go through each relation provided in the image:
-
Relation :
- Each input (2, 4, 6, 8) is associated with a unique output.
- This is a function.
-
Relation :
- Each input (0, 3, 5, 8) is associated with a unique output.
- This is a function.
-
Relation :
- Each input (1, 3, 4, 6) is associated with a unique output.
- This is a function.
-
Relation :
- The input 5 is associated with two different outputs (2 and 6).
- This is not a function.
Based on this analysis, the correct classification is:
- First Relation: Function
- Second Relation: Function
- Third Relation: Function
- Fourth Relation: Not a Function
It seems like the answers selected in the image are correct.

- What is the vertical line test, and how does it relate to functions?
- Can a function have the same output for multiple inputs? Why or why not?
- How are functions applied in real-world scenarios?
- What is the difference between a function and a relation?
Tip: Always check for duplicate inputs with different outputs when determining if a relation is a function.
