Answer 1

To determine which table represents a function, we need to check if each input (x value) corresponds to exactly one output (y value). In other words, for a relation to be considered a function, no x value should be mapped to more than one unique y value.

Let's analyze each option:

1. First Option:

   • Values: (-5, -8), (6, -7), (0, -2), (5, -1), (3)
   • Inputs are: -5, 6, 0, 5 (multiple outputs for these inputs)
   • Output: -8, -7, -2, -1 (unique for each input)
   • This represents a function.

2. Second Option:

   • Values: (-1, -2), (-4, -9), (-23, 7), (9, 2), (3, 1)
   • Inputs are: -1, -4, -23, 9, 3 (each input is unique)
   • Outputs are: -2, -9, 7, 2, 1 (each output is unique)
   • This represents a function.

3. Third Option:

   • Values: (2.5, 3.2), (3.2, 3.1), (4.1, 5.2), (3.3, 3.4), (7.2)
   • Inputs are: 2.5, 3.2, 4.1, 3.3, 7.2 (3.2 is repeated)
   • Outputs are: 3.2, 3.1, 5.2, 3.4 (3.2 maps to both 3.2 and 3.1)
   • This does not represent a function.

4. Fourth Option:

   • Values: (-4, -5), (-6, -7), (-7, -8), (-7, -4), (-3, -1)
   • Inputs are: -4, -6, -7, -3 (input -7 is repeated)
   • Outputs: -5, -7, -8, -4, -1 (but -7 is mapped to both -8 and -4)
   • This does not represent a function.

Conclusion

The tables that represent functions are the first option and the second option.
