Q:

Including which of the following points in the function {(ball, circle), (kite, diamond), (stop sign, octagon)} would make it no longer be a function? (ball, bounce) (eight, octagon) (triangle, triangle)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option A, i.e, (ball, bounce).Step-by-step explanation:The given function is{(ball, circle), (kite, diamond), (stop sign, octagon)} If a function is defined as[tex]f=\{(x,y)|x\in Ry\in R\}[/tex]then [tex]Domain=\{x|x\in R\}[/tex] and [tex]Range=\{y|y\in R\}[/tex].A relation is called a function if there exist a unique output for each input. In other words, there exist a unique y-value for each x-value.The domain of given function is Domain = {ball, kite, stop sign} If (ball, bounce) is included in the function, then for input "ball" there exist two outputs "circle and bounce". So after including (ball, bounce), then given function is no longer be a function.Therefore, the correct option is A.
