2. (7, 1), (-5, 2), (1, 0), and (-5, 3)

3. (-2, -4), (2, 4), (6, 8), and (-6, -8)

4. (1, 3), (-1, 3), (2, 3), and (-2, 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

options 1,3,4 are functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

RULE: a relation is said to be a function if every element in the domain ( the numbers in the left side in the below sets) is related to only one number ( number on the right side in the below sets).

Let us check each option one by one:

1.   3           2

    9           1

   -4           7

    0          -2

here each number on the left side is mapped to or is related to one number only.

so this relation is a function

2.  7         1

    -5        2,3

     1         0

here, "-5" is mapped to two different numbers. so this relation is not a function.

3.  -2    -4

    2      4

    6      8

    -6    -8

here each number on the left side is mapped to or is related to one number only.

so this relation is a function

4.  1     3

   -1    3

   2    3

  -2    3

here each number on the left side is mapped to or is related to one number only.

so this relation is a function.

even if it is related to the same number, it doesn't matter.

it should follow the above given rule that's it.
