Exercise 1 Page 286

If a relation is a function, how many y-values can an x-value have?

Function

Practice makes perfect

For a relation to be a function, each x-value can only be paired with one y-value, but one y-value can be paired with multiple x-values. In a mapping, the x-values in the input can only point to one y-value in the output.

In the given mapping, we can see that none of the x-values correspond to multiple y-values. Since all of the values in the input only point to one value in the output, the relation is a function.
