Every function is a rule which tells you how to associate inputs and outputs. The input, also known as independent variable, is often indicated with the letter 
, while the output, also known as dependent variable, is often indicated with the letter 
.
With this notation, we write 
, read "y is a function of x", in the sense that the value of the variable y depends on the value of the variable x, and f is the function that tells you how y depends on x.
In your example, you have 
, which means "subtract four times the input (4x) from 2"
So, it doesn't matter which input you chose (i.e. the value for x), because you will always have to behave this way:
- Pick an input value, x
- Multiply it by four to get 4x
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-4x
Here are some examples of explicit calculations: if I choose 
and input, the workflow will be
- Pick an input value, 2
- Multiply it by four to get 8
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-8=-6
So, if the input is 2, the output is -6
Similarly, if we choose 
as input, we have:
- Pick an input value, 0
- Multiply it by four to get 0
- Subtract this number from 2: 2-0=2
So, if the input is 0, the output is 2. And so on: for every possible value for x you have the correspondant value for y, with the function f telling you how to associate one with the other.
Answer:
C) 30 by 10
Step-by-step explanation:
If the rail is ten meters long, and the rope is 10 meters long, they can travel 10 meters left of the rail, ten meters along the rail, ten meters right of the rail, and ten meters above the rail.
For this case we have that the area of a circle is given by:
Where:
r: It is the radius of the circle
By clearing the radio we have:
We take the positive value:
The diameter is twice the radius:
Answer:
Answer:
n = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Continuing the sequence using
+ 
x₄ = x₂ + x₃ =1 + 2 = 3
x₅ = x₃ + x₄ = 2 + 3 = 5
x₆ = x₄ + x₅ = 3 + 5 = 8
x₇ = x₅ + x₆ = 5 + 8 = 13
x₈ = x₆ + x₇ = 8 + 13 = 21
x₉ = x₇ + x₈ = 13 + 21 = 34
x₁₀ = x₈ + x₉ = 21 + 34 = 55 ← with n = 8
Exponents are actually really simple. They are the little numbers on top of numbers and represents powers, so if it was 2 to the power of 2 you multiply 2*2 since there is 2 2s.(
