Answer:

No, because one x-value corresponds to two different y-values.

Explanation:

Given a function where x represents an input of a particular value, which gives an output for that particular value inputted as defined by the function, if the function is true and valid, a particular value of input should not give us different values of output.

Thus, from the table given, at x = 5, we have y = 3.

Also, at x = 5, we have y = 2.

Here, one x-value is given us two different y-values. This is not true if a function. We cannot regard the table given as representing a function.

Therefore, the answer is:

No, because one x-value corresponds to two different y-values.
