Function or not a function?

Yes, It is A Function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, we first need to know what a function actually is: A function is a relation between 2 sets which relates the element of the first set to only one element of the second set.

We can see in the provided image that the value -9 is related to 2 values of the second set, hence it is NOT a set.

Another way to think about it is that a function takes an input and gives only one output (where the left set is the input and the right set is the output). Since -9 gives 2 outputs from the given relation, it cannot be a function.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
