The following is not a function because...

• There are two values that equal 2.

• x = 10 and x = 40 has two values each.

• In the f(x) column, the 5 repeats.

• This table is actually a function.

How do you use the vertical line test?

• Draw vertical lines through your graph. If any of the vertical lines you draw intersects the graph more than once then the graph is not the graph of a function.

• Draw vertical lines through your graph. If any of the vertical lines you draw intersects the graph more than once, then it is a function.

Is this mapping a function or not a function?
