Question

What if the order of the function machine is changed? would it change the output? justify your answer?

Answer 1

The output would change when the order of the function machine is changed

What are functions?

Functions are equations, graphs and tables that are used to represent a relation

The order of the function is given as:

• $L(x)=x^2 -1$.
• $R(x) = 3(x + 2)$.

When the order of the function is changed, then we have:

• $R(x) = 3(x + 2)$.
• $L(x)=x^2 -1$

From the question, the input is 3.

So, we have:

$R(3) = 3(3 + 2)$

$R(3) = 3 \times 5$

$R(3) = 15$

Take 15 as the input of function L(x).

So, we have:

$L(15) = 15^2 - 1$

$L(15) = 224$

Notice that the output of both functions are different.

Hence, the output would change when the order of the function machine is changed
