“one to many“. Hence It is not a function.

#{ (5,0) , (0,5) , (5,1) , (1,5) , #

Here the Input values are # x=5 , x=0 ,x=5 ,x=1 # and

corresponding outputs are # y=0 , y=5 ,y=1 ,y=5 ,#

Vertical line test: A function is a type of equation that has exactly

one output (y) for every input (x). “many to one“ is a function but

“one to many“ is not a function. Here for input #x=5# there are

two outputs # y=0 and y=1 # i.e “one to many“.

Hence It is not a function. [Ans]
