7-14 determine whether the equation or table defines \(y\) as a function of \(x\).

13.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The table does not define \(y\) as a function of \(x\).

Step by step solution

01

State the rule that defines the function

Not every equation defines a function. The equation \({\mathop{\rm y}\nolimits} = {{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} ^2}\) defines \(y\) as a function of \(x\) because it determines exactly one valueof \(y\)for each value of \(x\). Not everytable defines afunction.

02

Determine whether the table defines \({\mathop{\rm y}\nolimits} \) as a function of \({\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \)

The height of 60 inches (\(x = 60\)) is equivalent to shoe sizes 7 and 8 (\(y = 7\)and \(y = 8\)). The table does not define \(y\) as a function of \(x\) because the input value \(x\) corresponds to more than the output value \(y\).

Hence, the table does not define \(y\) as a function of \(x\).
