Question
Determine whether each graph represents a function ?
Hint:
We can check if the graph is a function by the vertical line test. A graph represents a function if any vertical line in the xy plane cuts the graph at maximum one point. We use this method to check if each of the given graphs represent a function.
The correct answer is: not a function
Step by step solution:
We consider the first graph.
We can observe that any vertical line drawn on the graph cuts the line at exactly one point
Hence, this graph represents a function.
The second graph is
Again, we can observe that any vertical line drawn cuts the graph at exactly one point.
Hence, this graph is also a function.
Finally, consider the third graph.
If we draw a vertical line at the origin, that is, the y-axis, we can see that it cuts the graph at two points.
Thus, this graph is not a function.
An equation of the form y = f(x) is called a function if there is a unique value of y for every value of x. In other words, every value of x must have one value of y. When we draw a vertical, it cuts x axis at one point, we take that point to be x. If the vertical line cuts the graph at two points, then it gives two values of y for one value of x. This does not represent a function.

How can you determine whether the relationship between side length and area is a function?
If it is a function, say whether it is linear or non linear function ?
There are other ways to determine whether a function is linear or not, like, checking if the slope is equal between each of the points or if the equation can be written in the form of y = ax + b, where a and b are constants.
