Which of the following function notation describes the ordered number pair P(x) =
{(1,11), (2,22), (3,33), (4,44)}?
The function notation that describes the ordered number pair P(x) = {(1,11), (2,22), (3,33), (4,44)} is C.
f(x) = 11x. The technique for this question is to treat each number pair as x's and y's, and treat f(x) as y.
For example, for the number pair (1,11), the first number, 1, is the x, and the second number, 11, is the y.
Because x = 1 and y = 11 are true for f(x) = 11x = y, and because the other number pairs are true as well,
f(x) = 11x is the answer.
Step-by-Step Explanation
To answer the given question, here are the steps for the solution:
Consider the given ordered number pair P(x) = {(1,11), (2,22), (3,33), (4,44)}.
It is important to take note that for each pair, the first number is x, and the second number is y.
Also, take note that the f(x) notation is another way to express the y-value in a function. Therefore, y =
f(x).
Consider the choices: A. f(x) = x - 11 , B. f(x) = 11/x , C. f(x) = 11x , and D. f(x) = x + 11.
Choose the choice wherein all the number pairs are true.
After computing, you can determine that the answer is C. f(x) = 11x because all number pairs are TRUE
for this function notation, and FALSE for all other choices (A., B., and D.)
For the number pair (1,11), x = 1 and y = 11; f(x) = 11x; y = 11x; 11 = 11(1) is TRUE.
For the number pair (2,22), x = 2 and y = 22; f(x) = 11x; y = 11x; 22 = 11(2) is TRUE.
For the number pair (3,33), x = 3 and y = 33; f(x) = 11x; y = 11x; 33 = 11(3) is TRUE.
For the number pair (4,44), x = 4 and y = 44; f(x) = 11x; y = 11x; 44 = 11(4) is TRUE.
Therefore the answer is that the function notation that describes the given ordered number pair is C. f(x) =
11x.
2.The cost of joining a gym membership includes a one time sign-up fee of Php 2000 plus
Php 1000 for each month of membership. Which of the following function notations matches
this situation?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem says that there is a one time sign up fee of Php 2000, it means that you will only add the Php
2000 once. Another additional information tells you is that for each month you will have an additional
Php 1000 for each month of membership regardless of how many months you are going to use the gym.
3.Bananas are sold at Php 50.00 per kilo. A function notation that describes this situation is B(x) = 50 x
Further explanation
Functions, which deal with corresponding relationship between the elements of two sets, are useful concepts in the
mathematics curriculum. In mathematics, a function is the relation between sets that associates to every element of a
1. Polynomial Function : is a function such as a quadratic, a cubic, a quartic, involving only non-negative
integer powers of x
2. Quadratic Function : is a polynomial function with one or more variables in which the highest-degree term
3. Rational Function : s any function which can be defined by a rational fraction, an algebraic fraction such
4. Radical Function: it is contains a radical expression with the independent variable (usually x) in the
radicand
Given that Bananas are sold at Php 50 per kilo. The function that describes the situation will be as follows;
The total cost, , of money required to by kgs of banas will be given by:
This shows that the total cost of a given number of kgs of bananas is given by:
With x = no.of kilos
4.Three apple cost php 40. What is the function that describes the situation if x is the numbe4 of apples
bought?Answer:
f(x) = 40x / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 apples = P 40
40(6) / 3 = 40 x 2 = P 80
5.The total cost for playing paintball is Php 100 per gun for rent and Php 1000 per 2000 paintballs.
Assuming only 2000 paintballs is allowed for team who will play, which of the following function
notation matches the situation?
Function notation is the way a function is written. It is meant to be a precise way of giving information
about the function without a rather lengthy written explanation. Traditionally, functions are referred to
by single letter names, such as f, g, and so on. Any letter(s), however, may be used to name a function.
The most popular function notation is f (x) which is read "f of x". This is NOT the multiplication of f times
x.
We can express it likes this: f(x)=ax+b, wherein f(x) is the input value and ax + b is the output value.
4. In the above situation, the correct answer that matches it is letter C which is P(x) = 100x + 2000.
Explanation:
The total cost in renting the gun for paintball is Php 100 each. It means that, every person who will rent
the gun will need to pay Php 100. That’s why we have the output value which is 100x. Wherein, 100 is
the amount of rent times x which is the number of person who will rent the gun. In addition with that,
we will also include the number of paintballs that are only required per team which is 2000 paintballs
that cost PhP 1000. So, in general, our function notation is P(x) = 100x + 2000.
