Here's the Solution to this Question

Solution:

A relation is a function if for each value of x, there exists a unique value of y or f(x).

For all of the followings, we have this condition satisfied:

(a) f(x) = 1/x

(b) f(x) = 1/(1+x)

(c) f(x) = (x)½

(e) f(x) = sin(x)

(f) f(x) = ex

But for (d) f(x) = ±(x2+1)½, we have two values of f(x), thus it is not a function.
