Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:\newline(10,9)(10, 9)\newline(3,17)(3, 17)\newline(3,8)(3, 8)\newlineIs this relation a function?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) yes\newline(B) no
  1. Understand Function Definition: Step 11: Understand the definition of a function.\newlineA relation is a function if each input (xx-value) has exactly one output (yy-value). Let's check if each xx-value in the set of ordered pairs has only one corresponding yy-value.
  2. List XX and YY Values: Step 22: List all xx-values and their corresponding yy-values.\newlineFrom the ordered pairs:\newline- (10,9)(10, 9)\newline- (3,17)(3, 17)\newline- (3,8)(3, 8)\newlineWe see that the xx-value 33 corresponds to two different yy-values (YY00 and YY11).
  3. Determine Function Status: Step 33: Determine if the relation is a function.\newlineSince the xx-value 33 maps to more than one yy-value, this violates the definition of a function. Therefore, the relation is not a function.
