Solution Steps

Solution Approach

To determine if the table represents a function, we need to check if each input maps to exactly one output. If any input maps to more than one output, it is not a function.

Step 1: Identify Input-Output Pairs

We have the following input-output pairs from the table:

  • \( \text{shirt} \rightarrow \text{red} \)
  • \( \text{jacket} \rightarrow \text{yellow} \)
  • \( \text{pants} \rightarrow \text{green} \)
  • \( \text{shoes} \rightarrow \text{purple} \)
  • \( \text{socks} \rightarrow \text{orange} \)
  • \( \text{shirt} \rightarrow \text{black} \)
Step 2: Check for Functionality

A relation is a function if each input corresponds to exactly one output. In this case, the input \( \text{shirt} \) maps to two different outputs: \( \text{red} \) and \( \text{black} \). This violates the definition of a function.

Step 3: Conclusion

Since the input \( \text{shirt} \) has two different outputs, we conclude that the relation does not represent a function.

Final Answer

The answer is No, because the same input has two different outputs. Thus, we can express this as: \(\boxed{\text{No, because the same input has two different outputs.}}\)
