Question

consider the set of ordered pairs below. choose numbers from the drop-down menus to make the data set represent a function.
{(1, -1), (2, -2), (3, 3), (choose..., -3), (choose..., 4), (choose..., 5)}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall function definition

A function is a relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value). So no x-value can repeat.

Step2: Identify used x-values

Existing x-values are 1, 2, 3.

Step3: Select valid x-values

Choose x-values not in {1,2,3} (e.g., 4, 5, 6; any unique numbers not already used work).

Answer:

For the first blank: 4, second blank: 5, third blank: 6
(Note: Any set of unique numbers that are not 1, 2, or 3 is acceptable, as long as all three x-values are distinct.)
