To represent:
The given relation as a graph and as a mapping diagram. Tell whether the given relation is a function. Explain your reasoning.
Answer to Problem 2MCQ
The given relation is a function.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A relation:
Calculation:
Upon graphing our given relation, we will get our required graph as shown below:
The mapping diagram of our given relation would look like:
We know that a relationship will be also a function, when each input in the domain has exactly one specific corresponding output.
Upon looking at our given ordered pairs, we can see that each x-value corresponds to a specific y-value.
We know that for a relation to be a function, one x-value cannot have two y-values, while two x-values can have same y-value.
Therefore, the given relation is a function.
