Which of the following tables represents a function?
A. *|- 11 -5 -4 1

Answer: Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
A relation between two variables x and y is considered a function if and only if, for each input value x there is only one output value y.
If for an input value [tex]x_0[/tex] there are two output values [tex]y_1[/tex] and [tex]y_2[/tex] then the relation is not a function.
Therefore, to answer this question, identify the table in which each value of x has only one value of y.
You may notice that the option that meets this requirement is option A
Note that in option B, there are two output values 17 and 16 for x = -4.
So this relationship is not a function.
In option C there are 2 output values for x = -5
In option D there are 2 output values for x = -11
