                                                              Fig. 1.39



                                   SOLUTION
                                     Observe that, corresponding to x = 3, for instance, there are two y values
                                   on the curve. Therefore the curve cannot be the graph of a function.

                               You Try It: Graph the function y = x +|x|.

                                   EXAMPLE 1.30
                                   Isthe curve in Fig. 1.40 the graph of a function?
