Here's the Solution to this Question
Solution:
A relation is a function if for each value of , there exists a unique value of or .
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.
