Does a vending machine represent a function and why?

1 answer:

4 0

Sure, depending on how the machine is constructed or programmed.

A function can represent any process that takes some input and assigns exactly one output to it. In the case of a simple vending machine, there could one button or sequence of button presses that correspond to the delivery of a certain drink or snack (provided that enough money is fed into the machine first).

A machine that wouldn't qualify as representing a function would be one that consistently offers two or more different drinks.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

0.1 is the answer of that equation but 0.1 can also be written as 0.100 or 0.10000 or and amount of zero just when you have zeros in the decimal places you usally dont count them so 0.100 is the same as 0.1 the same would also call for somthing like 0.40000 it can be written as 0.4 instead.
