the graph represents a function or not, and give explanation.
Answer to Problem 44E
The graph does not represent a function because it fails vertical line test.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The given graph is as follows:
Calculation:
In vertical line test, there is only one value of y at a particular x. In such cases, line passes vertical at a particular point on a line/graph/ shape, then the line is a function..
In the given graph, a vertical line passes through more than one point, hence the line is not a function.
