1. The problem asks us to determine if the given mapping from Set A to Set B represents a function.
2. A function is a relation where each element in the domain (Set A) maps to exactly one element in the codomain (Set B).
3. Let's examine the mappings:
-1 \to 3
4 \to -3
-2 \to 8
-2 \to 5
4. Notice that the element -2 in Set A maps to two different elements in Set B: 8 and 5.
5. This violates the definition of a function because one input (-2) has two outputs (8 and 5).
6. Therefore, the mapping above is \textbf{not} a function since in the domain there is at least one element (-2) that maps to more than one element in the codomain.
Final answer: The mapping is not a function.
