1. The problem asks to classify each of the five expressions as functions or not functions.
2. Recall that a function assigns exactly one output for each input.
3. Expression 1: $y = [[x]]$ where $[[x]]$ is the greatest integer function (floor function). This is a function because for each $x$, $[[x]]$ gives a unique integer.
4. Expression 2: $y = [[x]] - xy$. Here, $y$ appears on both sides, so to check if this defines a function, solve for $y$:
$$y = [[x]] - x y$$
$$y + x y = [[x]]$$
$$y(1 + x) = [[x]]$$
$$y = \frac{[[x]]}{1 + x}$$
Since $1 + x \neq 0$ for $x \neq -1$, this defines a unique $y$ for each $x \neq -1$. At $x = -1$, denominator is zero, so no function value. So this is a function on domain $x \neq -1$.
5. Expression 3: $y^2 = [[x]] + x y^2$. Rearranged:
$$y^2 - x y^2 = [[x]]$$
$$y^2(1 - x) = [[x]]$$
$$y^2 = \frac{[[x]]}{1 - x}$$
For each $x$ where denominator is not zero, $y^2$ equals some value. But $y$ is squared, so for positive right side, $y$ can be $\pm \sqrt{...}$, two values. So this is not a function because one input $x$ can give two $y$ values.
6. Expression 4: $x^2 + y^2 = 4$. This is a circle of radius 2. For many $x$ values, there are two $y$ values (positive and negative). So not a function.
7. Expression 5: $y = x^2$. This is a parabola and a function because for each $x$ there is exactly one $y$.
Final classification:
1) yes
2) yes
3) no
4) no
5) yes
