Answer:

Only in special funcitons, specifically linear functions whose graphs pass through the origin, it is the same to put the constant inside the argument or outside

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function has the form f(x) = a*x, where a is a constant, then we have that f(c*x) = a*(c*x) = c*(a*x) = c*f(x). This kind of functions are proportional to the identity function f(x) = x, and they comprehend the linear functions whose graph pass through the origin.

For other linear function this property isnt true. For example if f(x) = x+4, then

f(4) = 4+4 = 8,

f(2*4) = 8+4 = 12

2*f(4) = 2*8 = 16

Thus, 2*f(4) is not f(2*4).

This property also isnt true for quadratic functions for example. If f(x) = x², then f(1) = 1, thus 3*f(1) = 3, however, f(3*1) = 3² = 9.

There might be coincidences for specific values, for example if f(x) = (x-1)*(x-2), then f(2*1)=2*f(1) = 0, however, for any other constant the result is not the same (for example f(0*1) = (-1)*(-2)=2, and 0*f(1) = 0).

If we want a function to satisfy the property f(c*x) = c*f(x) for any c,x, then it should be true that f(c) = f(c*1) = c*f(1). This means that if f(1) = a, then f(c) = c*a, so, in other words, f(x) = a*x = f(1) * x.

A cyclist rides her bike at a rate of 15 miles per hour. What is this rate in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the
Trava [24]

Answer:

1. 24 km/hour

2. 48 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 1.6 km

cyclist = 15 miles/ hour

we want to multiply speed by something that will cancel miles out and leave km. to do this, we want to multiply it by something with miles on the bottom and km on the top.

this is because

miles * km / miles = km as the miles cancel out and km is left in the numerator

thus,

1 mile = 1.6 km

divide both sides by 1.6 km to get 1 on a side

1 mile / 1.6 km = 1

alternatively, divide both sides by 1 mile to get 1 on a side

1.6 km / 1 mile = 1

since we want miles on the bottom, we choose the second option

cyclist = 15 miles / hour = 15 miles/hour * 1 = 15 miles/hour * 1.6km / 1 mile = 24 km /hour

24 km/hr for 2 hours = 24 km/hr * 2 hours = 24 * 2 km = 48 km
