Function Check A93Cce
1. **Problem:** Decide whether each set of ordered pairs is a function from $W = \{a, b, c, d\}$ into $W$. A function must assign exactly one output in $W$ for each input in $W$.
2. **Recall:** A set of ordered pairs is a function if and only if no input element appears more than once with different outputs.
3. **(a)** $\{(b, a), (c, d), (d, a), (c, d), (a, d)\}$
- Inputs: $b, c, d, c, a$
- Note $c$ appears twice but both map to $d$, so no conflict.
- All inputs $a,b,c,d$ appear once with unique outputs.
- **Conclusion:** This is a function.
4. **(b)** $\{(d, d), (c, a), (a, b), (d, b)\}$
- Input $d$ appears twice with outputs $d$ and $b$.
- This violates the function rule.
- **Conclusion:** Not a function.
5. **(c)** $\{(a, b), (b, b), (c, d), (d, b)\}$
- Inputs $a,b,c,d$ each appear once.
- **Conclusion:** This is a function.
6. **(d)** $\{(a, a), (b, a), (a, b), (c, d)\}$
- Input $a$ appears twice with outputs $a$ and $b$.
- Violates function rule.
- **Conclusion:** Not a function.
**Final answers:**
- (a) Function
- (b) Not a function
- (c) Function
- (d) Not a function
