Representations of Functions: Is the graph an example of a function?

Is the given graph a function?

It is important to remember that a function is an equation that assigns to each element in domain X one and only one element in range Y

Let's note that in the graph:

$f(0)=2,f(0)=-2$

In other words, there are two values for the same number.

Therefore, the graph is not a function.

No

Is the given graph a function?

It is important to remember that a function is an equation that assigns to each element in domain X one and only one element in range Y

We should note that for every X value found on the graph, there is one and only one corresponding Y value.

Therefore, the graph is indeed a function.

Yes
