Answers

  1. Answer:

    D.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A function is represented by every input has only one output. Let’s look at each of the answer choices:

    A. Input 4 notebooks, cost is $20 and input 5 notebooks, cost is $25. This is a function

    B. Input 1 hour, charge is $20 and input 2 hours, charge is $40. This is a function

    C. Input 1 hour, drove 50 miles and input 2 hours, drove 100 miles. This is a function.

    D. Input 6 gum balls chewed, chewed in 2 and 3 hours. This is NOT a function. The input does not have only one output.

    I hope this helps! 🙂
