Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:\newline(1,15)(1, 15)\newline(18,0)(18, 0)\newline(18,11)(18, 11)\newlineIs this relation a function?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) yes\newline(B) no
  1. Understand Function Definition: Step 11: Understand the definition of a function. A relation is a function if each input (xx-value) has exactly one output (yy-value).
  2. Examine Ordered Pairs: Step 22: Examine the given ordered pairs for duplicate xx-values with different yy-values:\newline(1,15)(1, 15)\newline(18,0)(18, 0)\newline(18,11)(18, 11)\newlineHere, the xx-value 1818 corresponds to two different yy-values (00 and 1111).
  3. Identify Violation: Step 33: Since the xx-value 1818 maps to more than one yy-value, this violates the definition of a function. Therefore, the relation is not a function.
