    <p>Yes. For each number of days \(d\)&nbsp;between 0 and 60, a certain amount of rain fell up to that time, so there is one particular value for the accumulated rain at any point in time.</p>

    <p>No. There was no rainfall in the first 10 days. This means that for the amount of rainfall 0 inches, or for the input value of 0, there are lots of times \(d\) that could be the output.</p>
