State which of the following sets of ordered pairs represent a function. Set A: (5,2), (4, 3), (3, 4), (2,5)
Set B: (-1,-6), (0, 2), (1, 2), (3, 6)
Set C: (2, 1), (4, 2), (2, 3), (8,4)

Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A: Set C
B: Set B
C: Set A
D: Set A and Set B

Option (D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A function can be termed as a process from a set of x values to a set of possible y-values where each x-value relates to exactly one y-value.

In other words, a relation can only be a function there is no repetition of x-values. It means a relation can not have duplicated inputs.

Given the sets

Set A: (5,2), (4, 3), (3, 4), (2,5)

Set B: (-1,-6), (0, 2), (1, 2), (3, 6)

Set C: (2, 1), (4, 2), (2, 3), (8,4)

It is clear that sets A and B represent the function because, in these sets, each x-value relates to exactly one y-value. In other words, there are no duplicated inputs.

But, set C has duplicated inputs i.e. x = 2 is repeated twice, and a function can not have a repeated input.

Therefore, we conclude that set A and set B represent a function.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
