Question

The table below represents an object thrown into the air.

A 2-column table with 7 rows. Column 1 is labeled Seconds, x with entries 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5. Column 2 is labeled Meters, y with entries 28, 48, 60, 64, 60, 48, 28.

Is the situation a function?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Yes, the situation is a function. This is because for each value of 'x' (representing seconds), there is only one corresponding value of 'y' (representing meters). Therefore, there is a unique output for each input, satisfying the definition of a function.
