Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?{(8,2),(−6,2),(9,3),(−6,−6)}{(4,3),(8,6),(6,3),(−8,0)}{(−6,9),(−6,8),(4,−4),(−7,−5)}{(−4,9),(3,5),(7,8),(7,−8)}
Q. Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?{(8,2),(−6,2),(9,3),(−6,−6)}{(4,3),(8,6),(6,3),(−8,0)}{(−6,9),(−6,8),(4,−4),(−7,−5)}{(−4,9),(3,5),(7,8),(7,−8)}
Definition of a Function: A function is defined as a set of ordered pairs where each input ( extit{x}-value) is associated with exactly one output ( extit{y}-value). To determine which set of ordered pairs represents a function, we need to check if any extit{x}-value is repeated with different extit{y}-values.
Checking First Set: Let's examine the first set: (8,2),(−6,2),(9,3),(−6,−6)Here, the x-value −6 is associated with two different y-values: 2 and −6. This violates the definition of a function.
Checking Second Set: Now, let's examine the second set: {(4,3),(8,6),(6,3),(−8,0)}In this set, each x-value is unique and is associated with only one y-value. This set represents a function.
Checking Third Set: We do not need to check the remaining sets because we have already found a set that represents a function. However, for completeness, let's quickly check them.
Checking Fourth Set: The third set is: {(−6,9),(−6,8),(4,−4),(−7,−5)}Here, the x-value −6 is associated with two different y-values: 9 and 8. This set does not represent a function.
Checking Fourth Set: The third set is: (−6,9),(−6,8),(4,−4),(−7,−5)Here, the x-value −6 is associated with two different y-values: 9 and 8. This set does not represent a function.The fourth set is: (−4,9),(3,5),(7,8),(7,−8)Here, the x-value 7 is associated with two different y-values: 8 and x1. This set does not represent a function.
