Question

Determine whether the relation describe c as a function of w.

Answer 1

Answer:

Function:

c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1

            = 0.70,  1 < w ≤ 2

            = 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the relation described can be interpreted as a function.

Here, c is the cost of a mail letter. c depends upon w, which is the weights of the mail letter.

As described in the question, the relation can be expressed as a function.

c can be expressed as a function of w in the following manner:

c(cost of mail) = f(w), where w is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable

c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1

            = 0.70,  1 < w ≤ 2

            = 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3

where, c is in dollars and w is in ounces.
