Question

In the notation "s(x) = ...," what does "s(x)" represent?

A. The value of x depends on the value of s(x), since x is a function of s.
B. The value of s(x) depends on the value of x, since s is a function of x.
C. There is not enough information to answer this question.
D. The value found when s is multiplied by the value x.

Answer 1

S (x) means s of x. So we know that s(x) is a function because it’s in function notation
So the value of s(x) depends which x is ‘put into a function” to get the answer which is s(x)
The answer is b

Answer 2

Option: B is the correct answer.

B. The value of s(x) depends on the value of x, since s is a function of x.

Explanation:

We know that for any function f(x) ; x represents the independent variable i.e. the variable whose value is defined and y=f(x) denote the dependent variable i.e. the variable whose value is defined corresponding to the independent variable.

i.e. it depends on the variable x.

Similarly here s(x) is the dependent variable since it is defined corresponding to the variable x.

Hence, the correct option is:

Option: B
