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:
h
=
55
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for h by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Answer:
88/7 ft = 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference of a circle = 2
r
<u>Radius of inner circle</u>
Given:
- circumference of inner circle = 22ft
- = 22/7
⇒ 22 = 2 x (22/7) x r
⇒ r = 3.5
So the radius of the inner circle is 3.5 ft
<u>Radius of outer circle</u>
If the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 2 ft, then the radius of the outer circle = 3.5 + 2 = 5.5
<u>Circumference of outer circle</u>
Therefore, circumference of outer circle:
= 2 x (22/7) x 5.5
= 242/7 ft
<u>Difference between circumferences</u>
Difference = outer circle circumference - inner circle circumference
= 242/7 - 22
= 88/7 ft
= 12.6 ft (nearest tenth)
Answer: A, C, B
