Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(10,7)(13,9)(10,17)(9,3)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Understand Function Definition: Step 1: Understand what a function is in terms of ordered pairs. A relation is a function if each input (first number in each pair) has exactly one output (second number in each pair).
Check for Repeated Inputs: Step 2: Check the ordered pairs for repeated inputs with different outputs. The pairs given are:(10,7)(13,9)(10,17)(9,3)Here, the input 10 corresponds to two different outputs, 7 and 17.
Identify Violation of Function: Step 3: Since the input 10 has more than one output, this violates the definition of a function. Therefore, the relation is not a function.
