Q. Look at this set of ordered pairs:(8,8)(13,12)(0,10)(16,14)Is this relation a function?Choices:(A) yes(B) no
Define Function: Understand the definition of a function in terms of ordered pairs.A set of ordered pairs is a function if for every x-value (first element of the pair), there is exactly one y-value (second element of the pair) associated with it. This means that no x-value is repeated with different y-values.
Check Repeated Values: Examine the given set of ordered pairs to check for any repeated x-values with different y-values.The given set of ordered pairs is:(8,8)(13,12)(0,10)(16,14)We need to check if any x-value (the first number in each pair) is repeated with a different y-value (the second number in each pair).
Verify Uniqueness: Verify if the x-values are unique or if any are repeated with different y-values.Looking at the x-values in the set of ordered pairs:8, 13, 0, 16We can see that all x-values are unique and none are repeated.
Conclude Function Representation: Conclude whether the given set of ordered pairs represents a function based on the definition and the examination of the x-values.Since there are no repeated x-values with different y-values, the given set of ordered pairs does represent a function.
