Which set of ordered pairs represents a function from P to Q?
P= {2,4,6,8} Q={-2,0,2}
a){(2,-2),(4,0),(4,2),(6,0),(8,-2)}
Not a function because f(4) has more than one value.
----------------------------------
b){(6,-2),(6,0),(6,2)}
Not a function because f(6) has more than one value.
-----------------------------------
c){(6,0),(4,-2),(2,0),(4,2),(6,-2)}
Not a function because f(4) has more than one value.
-----------------------------------
d){(4,0),(6,0),(8,0)}
Looks good.
------------------
e){(2,2),(6,0),(2,-2),(6,2)}
Not a function because f(2) has more than one value.
