Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Explanation:

  • As we know that the values in the table represent a function​ only if there there is only 1 input for every output.

Given the table 1

x y

-12 2

-10 10

0 -2

5 -6

8 -11

15 -15

From the table, it is clear that for each input there exists a unique output.

i.e.

According to the given table,

y = 2 at x=-12

y = 10 at x=-1 0

y = -1 at x=0

y = -11 at x=8

y = -15 at x=15

From the table, it is clear that for each input x, it has a unique output y.

Hence, table 1 is a function.

Given the table 2

x y

9 -18

-20 0

-6 1

-17 16

9 17

11 19

This table does not produce a function, because the input x=9 produces two outputs.

i.e.

at x = 9, the y = -18

at x = 9, the y = 17

Therefore, the table 2 does not represent a function.
