Question

Erica chops wood in the forest. The table compares the number of cans of insect repellent Erica uses and the number of mosquito bites she gets each day. Can the number of mosquito bites be represented as a function of the amount of repellent used? Cans of repellent Mosquito bites 0 00 11 1111 1 11 8 88 5 55 2 22 4 44 5 55 2 22 9 99 4 44 5 55 3 33 6 66 2 22 9 9

Answer 1

Explanation:

Step-by-step 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,
