Question

If f(x) is the height, in cm, of a sunflower plant which is x days old, which of the following statements best describes the meaning of f(60) = 210?

Answer 1

The height of the sunflower plant is 60 cm when it is 210 days old.
The height of the sunflower plant is 210 cm when it is 60 days old.
The height of the sunflower plant is 210 cm when it is 3.5 days old.
The height of the sunflower plant is 60 cm when it is 3.5 days old.

Answer 2

you are given f(x) is the height in cm where x is days old
and you are asked to interpret f(60)=210

Answer 3

you are given the value for x and the corresponding f(x) in f(60)=210

Answer 4

can you tell me your guess as to which number is the height ?

Answer 5

uhh not really

Answer 6

f(x) is height
x is days

the days is inside the f( ) thingy

so could you tell me the days old number ?

Answer 7

60

Answer 8

right so x is 60
and where x=60 ... we have f(x)=?

Answer 9

we have f(60)=210
you are given x is the days old number and f(x) is the height in cm
you already told me the x number was 60 (aka the days old number)
so f(60)=210 says when x=60 you have f(x)=?

Answer 10

210

Answer 11

right
f(60)=210 means when x=60 we have f(x)=210
the days old number is the number inside the f( ) thingy
and the height in cm is the number that is the output

Answer 12

=f(x)

Answer 13

so you should be able to finish this now

this was given by your problem
"you are given f(x) is the height in cm where x is days old"
replace f(x) with 210
replace x with 60

Answer 14

actually let me do an actual copy and paste of what your problem says...
and you can make the replacements in it:
" f(x) is the height, in cm, of a sunflower plant which is x days old"

Answer 15

you are given f(60)=210
which means when x =60 then f(x)=210
so replace x with 60 and f(x) with 210 in that thingy I put " " around

Answer 16

okay so im gonna go with a

Answer 17

so I thought you told earlier that x is the days old number and x is 60

Answer 18

I guess you did't make the replacements in
" f(x) is the height, in cm, of a sunflower plant which is x days old"
that I asked you to.


I asked you to replace f(x) with 210 and x with 60 since we are given f(60)=210

Answer 19

so if I make those replacements this is what you should have got
210 is the height, in cm, of a sunflower plant which is 60 days old
