To check: Whether the graph is shown a function or not.
Answer to Problem 10E
The graph does not represent a function.
Explanation of Solution
Concept used:
The vertical line test is used to evaluate the relation is a function or not from the graph. If the vertical lines are drawn that intersects the relation exactly at one point then it is a function and otherwise the given relation is not a function.
Use the vertical line test to evaluate whether a graph represents a function or not.
The vertical line can be drawn on the graph as shown in Figure 1.
It can be seen that the line intersects two points that means each input value has two corresponding outputs.
Therefore, the graph of a relation is a not function by the vertical line test.
