1. The answer would be true <span>Part A: Does the table represent y as a function of x? Justify your answer.
The function of x is "</span><span>fifth powers of x" which can be write as </span>f(x)= x^5 To determine whether the y represent f(x), you can try to put a value of x into the function, then compare the value of f(x) with y. For x=1 and y=1 f(x)= x^5 f(1)= 1^5 f(1)= 1 = y
For x=2 and y=32 f(x)= x^5 f(2)= 2^5 f(2)= 32 = y
2. <span>What is the value of f(4) and what does f(4) represent? The f(4) means putting 4 as the x value. In the function, the f(x) represent price </span>for renting a bowling lane and the variable x represent the number of hours. Then f(4) represent the price for renting a bowling lane for 4 hours. The value would be: <span>f(x) = 2x + 12 </span><span>f(4) = 2(4) + 12 f(4)= 8+12= $20</span>
