Math Problem Statement
Which of the following relations are functions?
{ ( 41 , − 15 ) , ( 18 , 32 ) , ( 90 , 14 ) , ( 41 , 14 ) }
{ ( − 84 , 78 ) , ( 28 , 4 ) , ( 69 , 54 ) , ( − 84 , − 70 ) }
{ ( − 13 , 14 ) , ( − 66 , − 35 ) , ( − 28 , 14 ) , ( 0 , − 28 ) }
{ ( 76 , 92 ) , ( 73 , 76 ) , ( 57 , − 8 ) , ( 9 , 20 ) }
Solution
To determine which of the given relations are functions, we need to check if each relation assigns exactly one output (i.e., value) for each input (i.e., value). A relation is not a function if any value corresponds to more than one value.
Let's analyze each relation:
-
Relation 1:
- Here, the -value 41 corresponds to both and 14.
- This is not a function.
-
Relation 2:
- Here, the -value corresponds to both 78 and .
- This is not a function.
-
Relation 3:
- All -values are unique.
- This is a function.
-
Relation 4:
- All -values are unique.
- This is a function.
Summary:
- Relation 1: Not a function
- Relation 2: Not a function
- Relation 3: Function
- Relation 4: Function

Here are some related questions for further practice:
- How do you define a function in terms of relations?
- Can a function have the same -value for different -values?
- What is the difference between a relation and a function?
- How would you graphically determine if a relation is a function?
- Can a function have more than one output for a single input?
Tip: Remember that a function must assign exactly one output for each input. If any input corresponds to more than one output, the relation is not a function.
