Question 848462: y=3x-1/x+2
Does this equation define y as a function of x?

I see that there is one value for y and one for x. I would say that it is a function since y only has one value. If y had more than one value then it would not be a function of x. I was wondering if i was right or i think i might have it backwords. ANy help would be nice. Thank you all very much.

You are asking the right questions.
How do you know that there is only one y for each x?
y is never 3 and x can't be -2
