Functions Determine whether or not the following represent f
Solution
1) To use the vertical line test, take a ruler or other straight edge and draw a line parallel to the y-axis for any chosen value of x. If the vertical line you drew intersects the graph more than once for any value of x then the graph is not the graph of a function.
So, from given graphs 1, 3, 4 , 6 are functions as vertical line intersects graphs only once
7) A function is a set of ordered pairs in which each x-element has only ONE y-element associated with it.
It is a function no x values have more than one y value
8) It is a function no x values have more than one y value
9) It is a function no x values have more than one y value
10) It is not a function as we can see x =-4 has two y values y = 5, -7
11)It is not a function as we can see x =45 has two y values y = 72,74
