Assume each variable has a different value. which relations below are functions? a. {(a, b), (a, c), (a, d), (a, e)} b. {(a, b), (b, b), (c, b), (d, b)} c. {(a, b), (c, d), (e, f), (g, h)} d. {(a, a), (b, c), (c, c), (d, e)}

a. choice a only

b. choices b and c only

c. choice c only

d. choices b, c, d only

A function is a relation in which every input value x has at most one output value y.

Consider all options:

a. Relation {(a, b), (a, c), (a, d), (a, e)} is not a function, because input value a has four different output values b, c, d and e.

b. Relation {(a, b), (b, b), (c, b), (d, b)} is a function, because every input value a, b, c and d have at most one output value b.

c. Relation {(a, b), (c, d), (e, f), (g, h)} is a function, because every input value a,  c, e and g have at most one output value b, d, f and g, respectively.

d. Relation {(a, a), (b, c), (c, c), (d, e)} is a function, because every input value a,  b, c and d have at most one output value a, c, c and e, respectively.

correct choice is D

a

step-by-step explanation:

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
