Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(17,16)(13,4)(17,17)(17,13)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Input-Output Mapping: To determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function, we need to check if each input (first component of each ordered pair) maps to exactly one output (second component of each ordered pair). A function cannot have one input corresponding to multiple outputs.
Examine Given Ordered Pairs: Let's examine the given set of ordered pairs:(17,16)(13,4)(17,17)(17,13)We can see that the input ′17′ corresponds to three different outputs: ′16′, ′17′, and ′13′.
Identify Multiple Outputs for Input: Since the input '17' maps to more than one output, the relation is not a function. According to the definition of a function, each input value should map to exactly one output value.
