Select the correct answer.

Laurie is designing a type of candy dispenser for use at grocery stores. When pressure is applied to a lever by the customer, candy will fall into a

container. As pressure on the lever increases, so will the amount of candy that is dispensed. For each pound per square Inch of pressure placed

on the lever, the amount of candy dispensed will triple.

Which of the following does this situation represent?

A a relation only

B. a function only

C. neither a relation nor a function

O. D.

both a relation and a function

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation: Function mean that for an input given (the force applied) there is one unique output (the amount of candy that comes from the machine)

A relation is something like it, but in a relationship, a single "input" can have more than one "output", which would mean that if you apply the same force in two different situations, the amount of candy that comes out can be different. And for the text, we know that this is not the case, so this is not a relation.

Then the right answer is B: a function only. because for each amount of force applied there is only one result in the amount of candy dispensed.

B. a function only

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding more force add more candy flow. Putting the same force doesn't give multiple speeds of candy flow so it is not a relation.
