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: $y = |x| + xy$
- For each $x$, $y$ is defined uniquely by this expression, so it is a function.
4. Expression 2: $y = \lfloor x \rfloor + xy$
- $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the greatest integer function, which is a function.
- The expression defines $y$ uniquely for each $x$, so it is a function.
5. Expression 3: $y^{2/3} = x$
- To check if $y$ is a function of $x$, solve for $y$:
$$y = \pm x^{3/2}$$
- There are two possible $y$ values for each positive $x$, so it is not a function.
6. Expression 4: $x^4 + y^4 = 4$
- For a given $x$, there can be multiple $y$ values satisfying the equation.
- Hence, $y$ is not a function of $x$.
7. Expression 5: $y = x^{2/3}$
- For each $x$, $y$ is uniquely defined.
- So, it is a function.
Final classification: yes; yes; no; no; yes
