To solve this question, we use the definition of a function, which includes that:
Doing this, we get that the graphics which represents functions are: a, b, d and e.
Graphic a:
Constant line, for each value of x, only one value of y, so yes, it is a function.
Graphic b:
For each value of x, only one value of y, so yes, it is a function.
Graphic c:
For values of x between -4 and 0, there are more than 1 value of y, thus, it is not a function. Using a vertical line, as in the picture at the end of the question, you can see that it crosses more than one point of the function.
Graphic d:
For each value of x, only one value of y, so yes, it is a function.
Graphic e:
For each value of x, only one value of y, so yes, it is a function.
Graphic f:
For values of x between -4 and 0, there are more than 1 value of y, thus, it is not a function. Using the vertical line test, as for option c, you can verify the same thing.
Thus:
Graphics a,b, d and e represent functions.
