I need help in my algebra class?

OpenStudy (leilanilane):

What exactly is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. The table below shows the values of y for each value of x. X Y -1 0 1 -1 2 1 2 -2 Part A: Does the table represent a function? Justify your answer by using the values shown in the table (4 points) Part B: The function f(x) shown below represents the number of field goals Frank made at different distances, x, in meters, from the post. F(x) = -x + 8 Calculate and interpret the meaning for f(5). (4 points) Part C: Write an ordered pair to represent the input and output of the function in Part B when Frank is at a distance of p meters from the post. (2 points) Part A: Is the table a function? No Justify your answer- use specific values in your answer. -1 +1=0 1+1=2 2+2=4 2+2=4 Part B: Calculate f(5). What does f(5) mean? Part C: X represents meters from the post. If we replace x with p, what is the y-coordinate? Write your ordered pair below: (p, ) I've done some but I don't understand. Its five questions this is one of them

@LeilaniLane please I need help

OpenStudy (leilanilane):

Part A: Okay, so in order for it to be a function each input, or X value must be paired with exactly one output or Y value. Since none of the Y values are repeated, this means its a function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait if none of the y values match up with any of the x values doesn't that mean its not a function??

OpenStudy (leilanilane):

Part B: F(x) = -x + 8 All you do is simply fill in the missing values and solve. If F(x) is F(5) this means X = 5 So... F(5) = -5 + 8 Part A: (Again) No, that's not what I said. There just can't be several Y values. For example: If you had X 0 then Y 1, but also X 1 equals Y 1... that couldn't be a function. However X 0 = Y1 and X 1 = Y 2 is a function. Do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry to bother but in part A the justify your answer, is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (leilanilane):

Um, not quite. You should add the justification to your answer, but your prove that your justification is correct by using the ordered pairs. You point out that for example that X -1 = Y 0, well you don't see another Y 0. There is only one out put for each input, so you show that by "using the values shown in the table." Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I type in the ordered pairs as the justify part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey I gtg but thanks anyway

OpenStudy (leilanilane):

Sorry. Yeah... sorta. Anyway, thanks!
