Functions (Medal will be given to right answer)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do the values In the table represent a linear function? If so, what is the function rule? A. The values do not show a linear function B. Yes, they show a linear function; y=1/2x+4 C. Yes, they show a linear function; y=2x+2 D. Yes, they show a linear function; y=2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

compare the first row to the second row. compare the entries -2, -4 2, 4 4, 8 what rule is it that makes the second entry from the first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You add 2,4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you add 2 to the first entry: -2 + 2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also adding 2, 4 is not one rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there's another dependency

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add four?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2+4 = 2 2 + 4 = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 .... -4 0 .... 0 2 .... 4 4 .... 8 what operation can you do to all of them and this same operation holds true for every case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope addition by a number can not increase by 2 in one case and increase 4 in another

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk division? DX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by what number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 is right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you input 2, you get 4 that means you....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=input y= output

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it is linear. the rule is x=y+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But x=y+4 is not an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you input 4, you get 8 (last pair of entries) x=input, y=output so what did you do to 4, to get 8 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, then x=y+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought you had to go like 8/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, but x is the input and y is the output that means we manipulate x, which is 4 to get y=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can either 8/2, or you can 4 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8/2 = 4, 4 ??? = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*2=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, 8 is the output, and y = output what's the input here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D yay c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 is the input?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we give the function a 4, and it returns 8: f(4) = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in another case, we give the function a 0, and it returns 0: 0*2 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the output is the result of the calculation. 8 or 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooooohhhhhhhh :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does the function return for x=2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( what is the y-value for x=2 ?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
