Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(3,16)(0,8)(4,7)(1,11)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Function Criteria: To determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function, we need to check if each input (the first number in each ordered pair) maps to exactly one output (the second number in each ordered pair). A function cannot have an input that corresponds to more than one output.
Examine Given Ordered Pairs: Let's examine the given set of ordered pairs:(3,16),(0,8),(4,7),(1,11)We need to check if any input value (the first element of each ordered pair) is repeated with a different output value.
Check for Repeated Inputs: Looking at the input values, we have 3, 0, 4, and 1. None of these input values are repeated, which means each input has a unique output.
Verify Unique Outputs: Since each input has a unique output and no input is associated with more than one output, the set of ordered pairs does represent a function.
