Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(17,15)(7,12)(12,14)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Define function: Step 1: Define a function.A relation is a function if each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value). We need to check if any x-value in the set of ordered pairs repeats with a different y-value.
List x-values: Step 2: List the x-values from the ordered pairs.From the pairs (17,15), (7,12), and (12,14), the x-values are 17, 7, and 12.
Check for repeats: Step 3: Check for repeated x-values.The x-values 17, 7, and 12 are all different. There are no repeats, so each x-value is paired with exactly one y-value.
