2. Which of the following could be a function? Select two that apply

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to figure out which tables represent functions and pick out two more possible functions from a list. Watch out! Remember, a function means each input (xx) has only *one* output (yy).
If an xx value appears more than once with different yy values, it's *not* a function!

STEP 2

1. Analyze the tables
2. Identify potential functions

STEP 3

Let's look at the first table.
For every xx value, there's only one yy value. x=2x = 2 goes to y=3y = -3, x=3x = 3 goes to y=3y = -3, and so on.
Even though the yy values repeat, that's okay!
It's still a **function**!

STEP 4

Second table time!
Uh oh, x=1x = -1 shows up multiple times with different yy values. x=1x = -1 goes to y=2y = 2, y=3y = 3, y=4y = 4, and y=5y = 5.
Since one xx value has multiple yy values, this is *not* a **function**.

STEP 5

Third table!
Each xx has only one yy. x=6x = -6 goes to y=11y = -11, x=4x = -4 goes to y=11y = -11, x=3x = -3 goes to y=10y = 10, and x=2x = -2 goes to y=15y = 15.
This is a **function**!

STEP 6

Last table!
We see x=6x = -6 twice, but with different yy values! x=6x = -6 goes to both y=5y = 5 and y=9y = 9.
This means it's *not* a **function**.

STEP 7

Since the problem text is missing the list of potential functions, I'll make up two examples that could be functions.

STEP 8

Example 1: {(1,2),(2,4),(3,6)}\{(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6)\}.
This *is* a **function** because each xx value (1, 2, and 3) has only one corresponding yy value.

STEP 9

Example 2: {(1,2),(2,2),(3,2)}\{(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2)\}.
This *is* also a **function**!
Even though all the yy values are the same, each xx still only has one yy value.

STEP 10

Table 1: **Function** Table 2: **Not a Function** Table 3: **Function** Table 4: **Not a Function**
Two examples of relations that could be functions: {(1,2),(2,4),(3,6)}\{(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6)\} and {(1,2),(2,2),(3,2)}\{(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2)\}.
