Question

The graph below shows the percentage of students enrolled in the College of Engineering at State University. Use the graph to answer the question.

Does the graph represent a function? Explain

Answer 1

Yes! It does show a Function. It shows the slow rise of students coming into the school over many years!

Answer 2

Answer: Yes, the graph represents a function.

Explanation:

We know that to check any graph is a function or not , we draw any vertical line that intersects a graph .

If it intersects the graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because it shows that x value has more than one output.

In the given graph , the y value of any point represents an individual output for a particular input x value. i.e. when we draw any vertical line that intersects the graph, it will not intersect the graph more than once.

Therefore, the graph represents a function.
