Question 1007766: Decide whether the following equation defines y as a function of x.
y=17sqrt x
a) Yes, because each value of y leads to a unique value of x
b) No, because for some values of x there are two values of y
c) No, because for some values of x there is no value of y
d) Yes, because each value of x leads to a unique value of y
