Draw a mapping diagram to represent the relation between the surface
area and the number of mosquito larvae.
a)
Identify the relation between the surface area and the number of
mosquito larvae. Then tell whether the relation represented by the
mapping diagram is a function. Explain.
b)
c)
The biologist decides to find the average number of mosquito larvae
for a given surface area. Complete the table. Then tell whether this
relation is a function. Explain.
