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: 12 out of 24, so 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 3 and 9 together since those are the desired colors, then put it out of the total (24) and simplify the fraction down. Hope this helps!
To find the X intercept make y =0. Then factor out a negative on the side with the equation for each of the terms, so it becomes
0=-(x^2+x+3)
0=(x^2+X+3)
0-3=(x^2+X)
-3=x(X+1)
-3=X, X intercept -3,0
-3=(X+1)
-4=X, X intercept -4,0.
These are possible X intercepts you can check by using quadratic formula as well.
Answer:
12 divided by 2 + 4 - 2 x 3 is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I did 12 divided by 2 first which was 6 then added 4 subtracted it by 2 then multiplied it by 3 and got 4.
