Question

Which of the following are functions?

(a) {(x, y) : y2 = x, x, y ∈ R}
(b) {(x, y) : y = |x|, x, y ∈ R}
(c) {(x, y) : x2 + y2 = 1, x, y ∈ R}
(d) {(x, y) : x2 − y2 = 1, x, y ∈ R}

Solution

(b) {(x, y) : y = |x|, x, y ∈ R}

For every value of x ∈ R, there is a unique value y∈ R.
i.e. there is a unique image for all values of x ∈ R.
Also, values of x occur only once in the ordered pairs.
Thus, it is a function.
