No, the table does not represent an exponential function. In an exponential function, the independent variable (x) is the exponent, and the dependent variable (y) is the base raised to the power of the exponent. In this table, the values of y are not the result of an exponential function as there is no consistent relationship between the values that would match an exponential function.
