Hello Intelli:
Are you familiar with symmetry? I mean, do you understand what it means to say that a graph is symmetric with respect to an axis?
Are you familiar with the Vertical Line Test for determining whether or not any particular graph represents a FUNCTIONAL relationship between two variables?
These are the two topics for which your exercise is testing you.
In other words, think about graphs that have symmetry about the x-axis. Think about testing these graphs using the Vertical Line Test.
If you need more help with this, then please post whatever reasoning and/or examples that you can come up with, and try to say something about why you're stuck.
Cheers,
~ Mark
