Answer: (a) Yes. The table is a function.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In order to be a function, there cannot be any duplicate x-values.
In the given table, each x-value is different so this IS a function.
Opposites are the same difference from zero!
If they have the same charge
x+x+x+x+x+x+x=-42
7x=-42
x=-6
so to check our answer
-6-6-6-6-6-6-6=-42
-12-12-12-6=-42
-24-18=-42
-42=-42
