juice bar orders
2 complete the creation as directed.

1. reflect on your creation.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of a function

A function is a relation where each input (independent variable) has exactly one output (dependent variable).

Step2: Analyze the given data

In the table, when the input (number of fruits added) is \(2\), there are two different outputs (\(12\) and \(14\) ounces of juice).

Answer:

This real - world situation (the data in the "Juice Bar Orders" table) does not represent a function. Because for the input value of \(2\) (number of fruits added), there are two distinct output values (\(12\) and \(14\) ounces of juice). A function requires that each input has exactly one output.
