Which of the following are functions? A. {(x, y) : y2 = x, x, y ∈ R} B. {(x, y) : y = |x|, x, y, ∈ R} C. {(x, y) : x2 + y2 = 1, x, y ∈ R} D. {(x, y) : x2 – y2 = 1, x, y ∈ R}

Answer»

Option : (B) 

A function is said to exist when we get a unique value of y for any value of x.. 

If we get 2 values of y for any value of x, then it is not a function.. 

Therefore,

Option B is correct . 

NOTE : To check if a given curve is a function or not, draw the curve and then draw a line parallel to y-axis.. If it intersects the curve at only one point, then it is a function, else not..
