Question

give an example of a function. Give the relation as a set of ordered pairs. Use a test such as mapping or the verical line test to show if your set of ordered pairs is a function. An example of a function could be: distance traveled and time, or the cost of a turkey and its weight. You can list your relation as a set of ordered pairs, or as a table. In either case, you must prove the relation is a function

Answer 1

@nincompoop

Answer 2

try doing the function of time by distances traveled
so in a graph:

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

functions are written in this format
f(x)= some equation
this is similar to
y = mx + b

the f(x) is the y

read a little bit about functions

Answer 5

so for example:
a car is traveling 60 kilometers per hour (we need to label our graph accordingly). we need to be able to show how long will it take for a car to travel 35 miles, 45 miles and maybe 50 miles.

Answer 6

Okay, I see

Answer 7

Whats next?

Answer 8

well thanks for the help anyway! :)

Answer 9

Is that it or is that only a small step for the "big picture"

Answer 10

big picture. you need to be able to represent your equation graphically and mathematically

Answer 11

can you come up with a formula that determines the function of time?

Answer 12

we said that the the rate of speed is 60 km/hr
so in minutes: that is 60 km/60 mins since 1 hour is 60 mins
60/60 is 1. So now, we have 1 km/min

D=f(t)=1t if we want to use the rate rate per minute
D=f(f)=60t if we want to use the rate per hour

Answer 13

I am sorry I was busy, now I am back

Answer 14

typo on my previous post
it's D = f(t) = 60t

Answer 15

oh okay

Answer 16

so pretty much there's your equation and you can do your algebra to determine time or distance

Answer 17

okay, but I am not sure how I am supposed to submit my assignment. I mean like what information should I include and how should i write it

Answer 18

you can now apply it to the example we want to use

Answer 19

it's written just like how I've written them. you might want to rephrase. Did you read the link I sent you?

Answer 20

yes, I did

Answer 21

You wrote so much I am not sure what I am supposed to use

Answer 22

so what don't you understand?
