Answer: This is <u>not</u> a function

Why not?

The input x = 2 leads to more than one output. In this case, it leads to y = 20 and y = 40 simultaneously. This is the reason why we don't have a function. A function is only possible if each input x leads to exactly one y output.

Put another way: we cannot have x repeating any values if we want a function.

Side note: We could have y repeat however. So it's possible to have a function with the two points (1,5) and (3,5).

<h3>What is the matrix?</h3>

The matrix exists as a set of numbers placed in rows and columns to create a rectangular array. The numbers exist named the elements, or entries, of the matrix. Matrices contain wide applications in engineering, physics, economics, and statistics as well as in different branches of mathematics.

Increasing the price by 15% would mean we exist taking 100% of the value + another 15%

100 + 15 = 115%

115% = 115/100 = 1.15.

Multiplying every value in Matrix A by 1.15 will give the price raised by 15%.

Therefore, the correct answer is option c. by multiplying each entry of matrix a by 1.15.
