Question

Let ???? assign each student at your school to a grade level.

a. Is this an example of a function? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, it's an example of a function.

Explanation:

In order to answer the question, you have to know the definition of Function.

A function is a relation between sets that assigns to every element of the input set exactly one element of the output set.

Therefore, if you have a relation that assigns each student to a grade level then you can consider it a function because each student (input set) is assigned to a grade level (output set).

Every student is in a grade level, therefore the relation assigns to every student exactly one element of the output set (one grade level)
