Which of the following lists of ordered pairs is a function? O A. (2, 4), (0, 2), (2, -4), (5,3)
O B. (1,6), (2,7),(4,9), (0,5)
O c. (0, 2), (2, 3), (0, -2), (4,1)
O D. (1, 2), (1, -2), (3, 2), (3, 4)

The option B i.e.(1,6), (2,7),(4,9), (0,5) represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Checking option A:

(2, 4), (0, 2), (2, -4), (5,3)

Here, the input x = 2 is repeated twice.

Thus, option A does not represent the function as the input x = 2 is duplicated and we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Checking option B:

(1,6), (2,7),(4,9), (0,5)

It is clear that no input value is repeated. In other words, each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

Thus, the option B represents the function.

Checking option C:

(0, 2), (2, 3), (0, -2), (4,1)

Here, the input x = 0 is repeated twice.

Thus, option C does not represent the function as the input x = 0 is duplicated and we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Checking option D:

(1, 2), (1, -2), (3, 2), (3, 4)

Here, the input x = 1 is repeated twice, and also x = 3 is repeated twice,

Thus, option D does not represent the function as we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Conclusion:

The option B i.e.(1,6), (2,7),(4,9), (0,5) represents the function.
