Answer:

a) yes (a function)

b) no (not a function)

Explanation:

A functional relationship will have only one value of dependent variable for each value of independent variable. That is, the column on the left can only have one arrow tail per item.

__

a) is a function. Each independent variable maps to one dependent value

b) not a function. Independent variable values 7 and 30 map to two values each.
