Question

A basketball team practices their shooting. The function f(x) represents the number of baskets made during practice, where x is the number of players at the practice. Does a possible solution of (12, 36) make sense for this function? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Yes. The input and output are both possible

Explanation:

The reason why is because f(x) stands for y and in parenthe this is how it looks like(x,y) and if you put the numbers in you have (12,36) 12 stands for the number of players and f(x) or y stands for the number of baskets made.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

I think it will easy to understand if we graph this information but let's explain it without the graph.

According to the information given, we know that f(x) represents the number of baskets and x the number of players at the practice.

So, if we have the point (12, 36) we can conclude that during practice there were 12 players and there were 36 baskets.

For me, it makes sense.
