PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT/TASK 1

1. Determine if the given equation is a function. Justify your answer.

a . y=2 – x 4

x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -14 1 2 1 -14

The equation is a FUNCTION because there is no two points of y that

intersect the vertical line (using the vertical line test).

2
b . y =10−3 x

x -2 -1 0 1 2
y -4, 4 -√ 13 , √ 13 -√ 10 , √ 10 -√ 7, √ 7 -2, 2

Using the vertical line test, it shows that there exist two points of y
that intersect the vertical line. Therefore, this is NOT A FUNCTION.
 3 4
c . y + x =1

x -2 -1 0 1 2
y −√ 15
3 0 1 0 −√ 15
3

Using the vertical line test, it shows that no two points of y intersect
the vertical line. Therefore, this is a FUNCTION.
