Questions: Does the following table of input/output information represent a function?
Input Output
shirt red
jacket yellow
pants green
shoes purple
socks orange
shirt black
No, because the same input has two different outputs.
Yes, because for each output there is only one input.
Yes, because for each input there is only one output.
No, because for each output there is only one input.

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:
\(\boxed{\text{No, because the same input has two different outputs.}}\)
