A function is a rule that assigns exactly one output to a given input. The input is taken from a set called the domain, and the corresponding output belongs to a set called the range.
1. In this exercise, we're calling the pool of patients 1-8 the domain, and the pool of nurses A-D the range. The given table describes a function because any patient is assigned to only one nurse.
2. This wouldn't be a function if at least one patient was assigned to more than one nurse. If this were to happen in practice, the patient could be, say, given the same dose of some medicine twice if the nurses aren't careful.
3. Making the nurse pool the domain and the patient pool the range would give a relation that is not a function, since more than one patient is assigned to one nurse.
Gf(x)
=g[f(x)]
=g[x2-1]
=x2-1+2
The correct answer is C because when using distributive property it simplifies back to 5b+30
The function is y=2x
this means that the solutions will have the form (x, y)=(x,2x).
For example: (0,0),(1,2),(2,4),(3,6) are solutions.
The first answer choice satisfies the above conditions.
The second answer choice contains (2,2), and (2,6), both of which do not satisfy the (x,2x) condition, so it's not correct.
The third answer choice contains (4,2), which again does not satisfy (x,2x), so not the right answer.
