So I need help with one part of this... I will medal can somebody help? Question below

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

A.Write a function that shows grams as a function of cups. Use g(x). B.Given this scenario, determine a reasonable domain for this function. C.Graph the relationship between the number of cups and grams of flour. D.Evaluate g(x) for any value of x within the domain. Interpret the meaning of your solution in the context of this problem. E.Look at the method you used to evaluate your function in part D. Explain another way you can evaluate the function for the same input. F.Interpret what it means to have g(-2), and determine if this is reasonable given the situation

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

PART A: g(x) = 128x PART B: A reasonable domain would be x ≥ 0 PART C: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=g%2... PART D: g(5) = 128*5 = 640g PART E: ????? PART F: g(-2) doesn't make a lot of sense, at least in the real world. You wouldn't need to find the weight of -2 cups. That's why it wasn't in the domain given.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

those are my answers I have

@blurbendy help!!!!

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

It seems like something is missing for part A. like the question it's asking is incomplete. how can grams be a function of cups when there is nothing to evaluate?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Wait not the whole question is posted one second

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

While in the United States visiting her grandmother, Kendra copied the famous family apple pie recipe. When she returns to England, she plans on making the same apple pie for her friends. To do this, Kendra needs to convert the flour from cups to grams. She knows that 0.5 cup of flour has a mass of 64 grams and 2 cups of flour has a mass of 256 grams. A.Write a function that shows grams as a function of cups. Use g(x). B.Given this scenario, determine a reasonable domain for this function. C.Graph the relationship between the number of cups and grams of flour. D.Evaluate g(x) for any value of x within the domain. Interpret the meaning of your solution in the context of this problem. E.Look at the method you used to evaluate your function in part D. Explain another way you can evaluate the function for the same input. F.Interpret what it means to have g(-2), and determine if this is reasonable given the situation.

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

ok, so if .5 cup of flour = 64 grams, what do you think 1 cup of flower is?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

oh wait, you already answered

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

you're right for A

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\huge\it just~E~please\)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

\(\large\bf\color{hotpink}{ok~yay}\)

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

For E, you can just use a graph. go to some point on the x-axis, and see where it lines up on the y-axis

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

In D, you just substituted a number, (x) value, and got g(x), which is just y. another way of doing that would be to use a graph. make sense?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Oh yes ok!

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

cool =)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I made that myself!!!!!:D^^^

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

that's awesome. I should learn latex too. too lazy though, lol

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

very cool. sleepyjess is awesome. she's a great user and loves helping people!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

yeah! She was the first to help me on OS:)

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yeah I remember when she first joined. she was a freshman taking algebra 2. very smart!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Oh cool.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Awwwww.... that is very sweet of you @blurbendy .

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes.. We have g(x) = 128x g(-2) means to substitute -2 for 'x': g(x) = 128(-2)
