Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(6,15)(3,18)(12,11)(14,9)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Check Input-Output Mapping: To determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function, we need to check if each input (first element of each ordered pair) maps to exactly one output (second element of each ordered pair). A function cannot have one input corresponding to multiple outputs.
Examine Given Ordered Pairs: Let's examine the given set of ordered pairs:(6,15)(3,18)(12,11)(14,9)We need to check if any first element (input) is repeated with a different second element (output).
Check for Repeated Inputs: Looking at the first elements of each ordered pair, we have 6, 3, 12, and 14. None of these inputs are repeated, which means each input has only one corresponding output.
Confirm Function Representation: Since each input is paired with exactly one output, the given set of ordered pairs does represent a function.
