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.

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
