Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very interesting question. I'm going to answer no, but don't take that to mean that the question is not worthwhile. It is.

In math, function has the meaning of considering ordered pairs. Here are 4 such ordered pairs.

(1,2)

(2,4)

(1,-3)

(5,9)

They are really not related to one another except all are ordered pairs.

Here's the math definition. If one of the x values (1,2,1,5) has more than 1 y value, you do not have a function.

1 has 2 y values,  2 and -3. Therefore the 4 points do not form a function

if you change the first (1,__) to 0 and your ordered pair becomes (0,2), all is well and you do have a function.

Whether you understand this or not, you have to see that a math function and a biology function are very different. The math function has numbers and those numbers have to obey a rule.

The biology function seems to be saying that how your mom and dad brought you up will determine what foods you like.

Those two uses are very different. How your mom brought you up is related to food. It could be anything else like "Being a knife carrying gang member is a function of where you live."

Santiago hopes to buy a 4 horse trailer for about $12000. Describe all the numbers that when rounded to the nearest hundred are
jok3333 [9.3K]
To round a number to the nearest hundred, we count two places to the left of the decimal point, or from the last digit if the number is a whole number.

If the second digit from the last digit is upto 5, we add 1 to the preceding digit and we complete the last two numbers with zeros.

Therefore, any number from 11,950 to 12,049, will result to 12,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred.
