The given relation is a function because some elements of Set A correspond to more than one element in Set B.
The given relation is a function because some elements of Set A correspond to more than one element in Set B.

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

Answer 1

To determine whether the relation described by the table is a function, we need to check if every element in Set A corresponds to exactly one element in Set B.

In the provided data:

• 1 corresponds to 6
• 3 corresponds to 3
• 5 corresponds to 9
• 7 corresponds to 12

Since each value in Set A (1, 3, 5, 7) corresponds to exactly one unique value in Set B (6, 3, 9, 12), this means that the relation given is indeed a function.

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.
