Your answer would be D, the equation is a function because it is a polynomial and all polynomials are functions.

Step-by-step explanation: I like to remember that polynomials have no negative , fraction exponents and no division. In this case everything is positive so I knew it was a polynomial , and like the answer says all polynomials are functions ! Hope this helped
