The table of values given is a relation but not a function.
The table of values given is a relation but not a function.

Even though some values in Set A correspond to more than one value in Set B, it is still a function.

The given relation is a function because each value from Set A corresponds to a unique value in Set B.

Answer 1

To determine whether the table of values represents a function, we need to check if each value in Set A corresponds to a unique value in Set B.

Here are the pairs from the table:
- 1 → 6
- 3 → 3
- 5 → 9
- 7 → 12

In this case, each value in Set A (1, 3, 5, 7) corresponds to exactly one value in Set B (6, 3, 9, 12). There are no repeated values in Set A that correspond to different values in Set B.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

**The given relation is a function because each value from Set A corresponds to a unique value in Set B.**
