QuestionA relation in xx and yy is given. Determine if the relation defines yy as a one-to-one function of xx. The relation defines yy as a one-to-one function of xx. The relation does not define yy as a one-to-one function of xx.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? Does each xx value go to only *one* yy value, and does each yy value come from only *one* xx value? Watch out! It's easy to mix up "one-to-one" with just being a function!
A function just needs each xx to go to one yy, but one-to-one is stricter!

STEP 2

1. Check if it's a function
2. Check if it's one-to-one

STEP 3

Alright, let's **check if this relation is a function**!
Does each xx value have only *one* corresponding yy value?
Looking at our diagram, we see that 1414 goes to both 33 and 66.
Uh oh!
That's a problem!

STEP 4

Since 1414 is going to *two* different yy values, this is *not* a function.
It's like a mischievous little xx trying to sneak into two parties at once!

STEP 5

Even though it's not a function, let's **check the one-to-one condition** anyway, just for kicks!
Does each yy value have only *one* corresponding xx value?

STEP 6

Well, 33 comes from 1414, 66 comes from 1414, and 99 comes from 2222.
So, 33 and 66 both come from the same xx value!
That breaks the one-to-one rule.

STEP 7

This relation is *not* a one-to-one function.
In fact, it's not a function at all!
It breaks the rules in two ways: 1414 maps to two different yy values, and both 33 and 66 map back to the same xx value.
