Let’s go through each problem one by one.
---
Problem 1:
We are given a table of x and y values:
x | y
--|--
-3 | 0
-6 | -6
6 | 4
11 | -1
To check if this is a function:
→ A function means
each x-value must have only ONE y-value.
→ Look at the x-values: -3, -6, 6, 11 — all different!
→ So no x repeats → each x has exactly one y →
✔ This IS a function.
Answer for #1:
Yes

Problem 2:
Table:
x | y
--|--
-2 | 7
-2 | 3
4 | 4
7 | 7
Look at x-values: -2 appears twice!
→ First time: x = -2 → y = 7
→ Second time: x = -2 → y = 3
→ Same x gives two different y’s →
✘ NOT a function.
Answer for #2:
No
---
Problem 3:
Table:
x | y
--|--
3 | -2
2 | 2
2 | -3
-1 | -1
x = 2 appears twice:
→ First: y = 2
→ Second: y = -3
→ Same x, different y →
✘ NOT a function.
Answer for #3:
No
---
Problem 4:
Table:
x | y
--|--
10 | 7
10 | 7
20 | -3
-10 | 3
x = 10 appears twice, but both times y = 7 → same output!
→ That’s okay! Function allows same y for same x (as long as it’s not different y’s).
→ All other x’s are unique.
→ So every x has only ONE y →
✔ This IS a function.
Answer for #4:
Yes

Problem 5:
This is a mapping diagram (arrows from x to y).
Left side (x): -3, -1, 0, 2
Right side (y): 3, 2, 1, 0
Arrows:
- -3 → 3
- -1 → 2
- 0 → 1
- 2 → 0
Each x has only ONE arrow going out → each x maps to one y →
✔ This IS a function.
Answer for #5:
Yes
---
Problem 6:
Mapping diagram:
Left (x): -3, -1, 0, 2
Right (y): 3, 2, 1, 0
Arrows:
- -3 → 3
- -3 → 2 ← Uh oh! Two arrows from -3!
- -1 → 1
- 0 → 0
- 2 → ? (looks like maybe none? or unclear, but we already have a problem)
Since x = -3 maps to TWO different y-values (3 and 2), that breaks the rule →
✘ NOT a function.
Answer for #6:
No
