Let's assume the opposite is the case. So let's assume that a = b is true. If so, then f(a) and f(b) would be the same output. This is because we can replace 'b' with 'a', or vice versa. In other words, f(a) = f(b) would be true. But this contradicts the original inequality that f(b) < f(a)
So that is why 'a' cannot equal b. We don't know if a > b or if a < b (unless we are told if the function is strictly decreasing or increasing on the interval from x = a to x = b), so we just leave it as
Answer:
The values are given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Jackson bakes cookies for her family and colleagues at work. The number of cookies she bakes on the x-th day of December is given by,
f(x) = until 24-th of December.
So, we can construct the following table,
x f(x)
0 24
4 20
8 16
12 12
