A particular strain of a common bacteria replicates itself every 14 minutes. Which of the following does this situation represent?
A.
neither a relation nor a function
B.
a relation only
C.
a function only
D.
both a relation and a function
1 answer
The correct answer is D. both a relation and a function.
In this context, the replication of bacteria can be seen as a relation between time (in minutes) and the number of bacteria. It also satisfies the criteria of a function because for each time interval, there is a specific number of bacteria corresponding to that time.
