Math Problem Statement

Select all of the following tables which represent y as a function of x and are one-to-one.

Solution

To determine which tables represent yy as a function of xx and are one-to-one, let's analyze each table in the image.

Criteria:

  1. Function: Each xx value must correspond to exactly one yy value.
  2. One-to-One: Each yy value must correspond to exactly one xx value (no repeated yy values).

Analysis:

  1. First Table:

    • xx: [5, 7, 11]
    • yy: [4, 9, 9]
    • The yy values repeat (9 is listed twice), so it is not one-to-one.
    • It is a function since each xx has only one yy, but it fails the one-to-one condition.
  2. Second Table:

    • xx: [5, 7, 11]
    • yy: [4, 9, 14]
    • The yy values are all distinct.
    • Each xx maps to a unique yy, and there are no repeated yy values, so it is both a function and one-to-one.
  3. Third Table:

    • xx: [5, 7, 7]
    • yy: [4, 9, 14]
    • The xx value 7 is repeated, mapping to two different yy values (9 and 14), so it is not a function.

Conclusion:

  • First Table: Function but not one-to-one.
  • Second Table: Function and one-to-one.
  • Third Table: Not a function.

Answer: Only the second table represents yy as a function of xx and is one-to-one.
