Exercise 1.1.15 (15-18)

Determine whether the curve is the graph of a function of x. If it is, state the domain and range of the function.

Answers

15.
Since the horizontal line x = 0 crosses the graph in more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.
16.
The graph in (16) does not fail Vertical Line Test. Its domain is [2,2] and its range is [1;2].
17.
The graph does not fail Vertical Line Test. Its domain is [3,2] and its range is [3, 2) [1,3].
18.
The plot fails Vertical Line Test. There are infinitely many outputs assigned for one x (for example, x = 0 takes all the numbers in [1,0] as an output). That is why, the plot (18) does not represent a function.
