Answer 2

Yes, the number of mosquito bites can be represented as a function of the amount of repellent used.

Explanation:

Let x represents the number of cans of repellent and y represents the number of mosquitos,

If f be the relation from x to y,

Then by the given table,

f(x) = { (0, 11), (1, 8), (5, 2), (4,5), (2, 9), (3, 6)}

∵ If for each input in a relation has exactly one output, the relation is called a function.

Here, for each value of x there is exactly one value of y,

Hence, f(x) is a relation from x to y,

That is, the number of mosquito bites can be represented as a function of the amount of repellent used.
