Since a function would mean that a customer is able to purchase 1.1 of an item or 1.5 of an item, which is false. It also means that the customers pay the same price for a different amount of items.
The answer would be 2 because a square root has to be the same 2 numbers which is 2 for this example. 2x2=4. Hope this helps! If you have anymore questions please ask me. Stay Safe! And have a good day!
