Question

Determine if the ordered pairs represent a function.
(2,3),(4,4),(2,5),(3,8)

Answer 1

To determine if the given ordered pairs represent a function, we need to check whether each input (or first element of the ordered pair) is associated with exactly one output (or second element).

The ordered pairs are:
- (2, 3)
- (4, 4)
- (2, 5)
- (3, 8)

Now, let's look at the first elements (inputs):
- The input "2" appears in two pairs: (2, 3) and (2, 5). This means that the input "2" is associated with two different outputs (3 and 5).

Since the input "2" has more than one output, this set of ordered pairs does not represent a function.

Thus, the answer is **no, the ordered pairs do not represent a function.**
