Mathematics Question on Relations and functions
Which of the following is not a function?
A
(x,y):x,y∈R,x2=y
B
(x,y):x,y∈R,y2=x
C
(x,y):x,y∈R,x=y3
D
(x,y):x,y∈R,y=x3
Answer
(x,y):x,y∈R,y2=x
Explanation
Solution
∵ y2=x⇒y=±x
is one value of x gives two values of y. So,
(x,y):x,∈R,y2=x is not a function.
