Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:\newline(1,15)(1, 15)\newline(16,2)(16, 2)\newline(15,7)(15, 7)\newlineIs this relation a function?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) yes\newline(B) no
  1. Define function: Understand the definition of a function.\newlineA relation is a function if each input (xx-value) has exactly one output (yy-value). We need to check if any xx-value in the given ordered pairs repeats with different yy-values.
  2. List xyx-y values: List all the xx-values and their corresponding yy-values from the ordered pairs.\newline(1,15),(16,2),(15,7)(1, 15), (16, 2), (15, 7)\newlineHere, the xx-values are 11, 1616, and 1515.
  3. Check for repeats: Check for repeated xx-values.\newlineThe xx-values 11, 1616, and 1515 are all different; none of them repeat.
  4. Conclude function: Conclude if the relation is a function.\newlineSince no xx-value is repeated with a different yy-value, this relation is a function.
