Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:\newline(8,1)(8, 1)\newline(8,2)(8, 2)\newline(15,11)(15, 11)\newline(15,12)(15, 12)\newlineIs this relation a function?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) yes\newline(B) no
  1. Define Function in Ordered Pairs: Define what a function is in terms of ordered pairs.\newlineA relation is a function if each input (first component of the ordered pairs) is associated with exactly one output (second component of the ordered pairs). This means that in the set of ordered pairs, each xx-value should be paired with only one yy-value.
  2. Examine Given Ordered Pairs: Examine the given set of ordered pairs to see if any input value is associated with more than one output value.\newlineThe given set of ordered pairs is:\newline(8,1)(8, 1)\newline(8,2)(8, 2)\newline(15,11)(15, 11)\newline(15,12)(15, 12)\newlineWe can see that the input value 88 is associated with two different output values (11 and 22), and the input value 1515 is also associated with two different output values (1111 and 1212).
  3. Determine Relation as Function: Determine if the relation is a function based on the examination in Step 22.\newlineSince the input values 88 and 1515 are each associated with more than one output value, this relation is not a function.
