When comparing prices for activities at a local recreation center, you notice that the center charges different prices on differ
ent days of the week. For example, riding a go-kart costs $10 on Saturday and Sunday and $5 on Monday through Friday. Is the cost a function of the activity type? Explain why or why not.
A function is a relation in which each element of the domain, or x-value, is mapped to one element of the range, or y-value.
The question we are asked is if cost is a function of the activity type. This means that cost would be the range and activity type would be the domain.
If this is a function, then each activity type would have only one cost. However, on different days of the week each activity type has different prices; this means there is more than one cost for each activity type, and it is not a function.
The activity type would be the input and the cost would be the output. Because there are two different costs for the same activity, this would not be a function. ........................................................................................................ Hope this helps! :)
Subtract 10 from 8 to get -2. Then divide -2x by itself so it will cancel out. Whatever you do to one side of the equation, do to the other so divide -2 by -2 to get your answer of 1
