MCQ
Which one of the following is not a function?
  • A
    $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{x}^2=\text{y}\}$
  • $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{y}^2=\text{x}\}$
  • C
    $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{x}^2=\text{y}^3\}$
  • D
    $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{y}\in\text{R},\text{y}=\text{x}^3\}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{y}^2=\text{x}\}$
  1. $\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{R},\text{y}^2=\text{x}\}$
Solution:
$y^2$ = x gives two values of y for a value of x
i.e. there are two images for a value of x.
For example: $(2)^2 = 4$ and $(-2)^2 = 4$
Thus, it is not a function.
