Answer:

NO. It does not represent y is a function of x.

Explanation:

For a given table of values to be considered as representing a function, every domain value (x-value) must have exactly one range value (y-value). This implies that a function cannot have two y-values assigned it mapped to the same x-value.

Therefore, the table of values given does not represent a function because the x-value, 3.45 has two y-values, 1.72 and 3.36, assigned or mapped to it.
