Question

The function represents the relationship between minutes of skateboarding (x) and calories burned (y). For this scenario, is the function discrete or continuous? How do you know? Use at least 3 sentences in your answer

Answer 1

The table of values represents only some easily-plotted points, but if you skateboard any number of minutes (including any fractional values), the function (which is y=5x) will still calculate a corresponding number of calories burned (possibly also fractional).
