Question

1. the table of values shown represents a relation. which statement describes the relation? a. the table represents a function because each input has only one output. b. the table represents a function because each output has one input. c. the table does not represent a function because each input has only one output. d. the table does not represent a function because each output has only one input.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall function definition

A function is a relation where every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).

Step2: Analyze the table values

The table has x-values: 0, 2; each x-value maps to exactly one y-value (8, -1 respectively).

Step3: Match to correct statement

This fits the definition of a function, as each input has only one output.

Answer:

A. The table represents a function because each input has only one output.
