{(0,2),(2,4),(1,7),(2,5)}

A. The relation is not a function.
B. The relation is a function. The domain is {0,1,2}
C. The relation is a function. The domain is {2,4,5,7}
D. The relation is a function. The domain is {0,1,2,4,5,7}

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The relation is not a function. All you need to solve this problem is the following: Relations are NOT functions when the domain values repeat!

Note: The domain is the set of input values. The domain is x, the first number in the pair. For example, in the pair (0, 2), the domain is 0.

In the relation {(0,2),(2,4),(1,7),(2,5)}, 2 is repeated two times, which, by definition, means that the relation is not a function.
