Exercise 4 Page P5

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

Domain: {-12, -10, -8, -6}
Range: {0, 1, 2, 4}
Yes, it is a 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. Let's look at the given values.

Domain Range
-12 0
-10 1
-8 2
-6 4

Since each input x has only one output, the relation in the table is a function.
