For the following exercises, determine whether the relation is a function.
1. \(\{(a, b),(c, d),(e, d)\}\)
2. \{(5,2),(6,1),(6,2),(4,8)\}\)
3. \(y^{2}+4=x,\) for \(x\) the independent variable and \(y\) the dependent variable
4. Is the graph in Figure 1 a function?
For the following exercises, evaluate the function at the indicated values:
