Question

f(x) Function word problem assistance~

Answer 1

Eva played her favorite video game for 14 hours last week. Today Eva's parents restricted her to 4 hours each week for the next 7 weeks. Create the function, f(x), that models Eva's total video game time and explain what each number in the situation represents, using complete sentences.

Now I assume the function would be f(x)=4x+14 though I wouldn't be sure how to explain what each number means in the situation due to my terribly wording.

Answer 2

what does x the independent variable represent?
and what does f the dependent variable represent?
