Does this represent a function?

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph must pass the Vertical Line Test in order to be a function. Since this graph doesn't pass the test, it is not a function.

However, this graph is a conic, specifically a hyperbola.

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
