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 $x_0$ there are two output values $y_1$ and $y_2$ 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

Let the number of bags of feed type I to be used be x and the number of bags of feed type II to be used be y, then:

We are to minimize:

C = 4x + 3y

subject to the following constraints:

$6x+2y\geq10 \\ \\ 2x+3y\geq8 \\ \\ x\geq0,\ y\geq0$

From the graph of the 4 constraints above, the corner points are (0, 5), (1, 2), (4, 0).

Testing the objective function for the minimum corner point we have:

For (0, 5):
C = 4(0) + 3(5) = $15

For (1, 2):
C = 4(1) + 3(2) = 4 + 6 = $10

For (4, 0):
C = 4(4) + 3(0) = $16.

Therefore, the combination that yields the minimum cost is 1 bag of type I feed and 2 bags of type II feed.
