Recall that a relation defines a function if every input (or x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (or y-value).
List the input values from the given relation: 5, 3, 4, and 7.
Check if any input value is repeated with a different output value. In this case, each input (5, 3, 4, 7) appears only once.
Since no input value is paired with more than one output value, the relation satisfies the definition of a function.
Conclude that the given relation defines a function because each input has a unique output.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Definition of a Function

A function is a relation where each input (or domain element) is paired with exactly one output (or range element). This means no input value can correspond to more than one output value.

Relation as a Set of Ordered Pairs

A relation is a collection of ordered pairs (x, y), where x is from the domain and y is from the range. Understanding how to interpret these pairs is essential to analyze whether the relation meets the criteria of a function.

Testing for Function Using Domain Values

To determine if a relation is a function, check if any domain value (first element in each pair) repeats with different range values. If no domain value repeats or repeats with the same range value, the relation is a function.
