To calculate: To determine whether the graph represents a function
Answer to Problem 10E
Graph is not a function
Explanation of Solution
Given: Graph is
Formula Used:
Any set of ordered pairs is a function when none of the ordered pair in set have same first coordinate with different second coordinate
Calculation:
Graph is given as follows:
From above graph, set of ordered pairs are defined as:
Now consider the ordered pairs
Here, first coordinate is
Also, consider the ordered pairs
Here, first coordinate is
There exists four ordered pairs that have same first coordinate with different second coordinate.
Thus, the graph is not a function
Conclusion:
Hence, graph is not a function
