Question

For the function y = f(x), what is the ordered pair for the point on the graph when x = p + 1?

(x, f(p))
(x, p + 1)
(p + 1, f(p + 1))
(p + 1, f(p))

Answer 1

In terms of x & f(x), what coordinates would any point have?

Answer 2

I have no clue what that means :/

Answer 3

If you put x into a function (such as f(x)) where will you plot the point associated with that value of x?

Answer 4

I don't know

Answer 5

A function is typically defined as a relationship between two values, the first usually called x and the second called either y or f(x). For every value of x you put into the function you are expected to get one value for y(or f(x)), this then can be plotted on a graph as the ordered pair (x,y)

Answer 6

Im sorry I just don't get it

Answer 7

As a bit of advise, the definition of a function is an important one to understand in algebra onward. Sometime I would suggest finding a better definition than my own, from a teacher, textbook or anyone else.

f here is a function of x, f(x). It depends on the value of x to determine what it's value is. Here we have an alternative value for x, p + 1. If x = p + 1, what does f(x) equal?

Answer 8

I'm sorry nevermind you don't have to help

Answer 9

I can still help you figure out the answer. I won't give you the answer though.

Answer 10

I know I don't just want the answer but im just not understanding

Answer 11

Well, with what I was just asking, x is equal to p+1, so that means any place you see x, you can replace it with that instead.

Answer 12

Okay but what is P

Answer 13

From what I can tell it's just p

Answer 14

Well crap

Answer 15

(p + 1, f(p + 1))

y means that F has a letter x inside the parenthesis, f(x)
we know x is the same as p+1
instead of having an X lets use p+1
(p+1,_____)
Now for y...since we know p+1 means x, lets put x with f
f(p+1)
Now we have (p + 1, f(p + 1))

Answer 16

Oops I meant to say
Now for y...since we know p+1 means x, lets put p+1 with f

Answer 17

-sigh- I hate math haha okay I think I get it

Answer 18

instead of using x just use p+1...that also includes inside f(__)

Answer 19

C!

Answer 20

Yup
