Response
Question 27
Part a

Step1: Recall Vertical Line Test

The Vertical Line Test states that a relation is a function if no vertical line intersects its graph more than once.

Step2: Apply to Graph a

The graph in part a is a parabola opening upwards (like \(y = x^2\) or similar). Any vertical line will intersect this parabola at most once.

Step1: Recall Vertical Line Test

A relation is a function only if no vertical line intersects its graph more than once.

Step2: Apply to Graph b

Looking at the graph in part b, there is a vertical line (the y - axis or a vertical line through the same x - value) that intersects the graph at more than one point (the two dots on the vertical line).

Step1: Substitute \(x=-1\) into \(f(x)\)

Given \(f(x)=2x - 1\), substitute \(x=-1\) into the function.
\(f(-1)=2\times(-1)-1\)

Step2: Simplify the expression

First, calculate \(2\times(-1)=-2\). Then, \(-2 - 1=-3\).

Answer:

Yes. Explanation: No vertical line intersects the graph more than once (passes Vertical Line Test).
