Question

Are Functions 1 and 2 the same? Explain. Function 1: y = 3(x + 5) Function 2: y equals three times x, plus 5.

Answer 1

No, the functions are not the same.

Explanation:

For function one you have to distribute the three to the x and the five which would give you a function of 3x+15.

This will result in different y-intercepts function one's why being 15 and function's two y-intercept being 5. Though the will have the same slope they are two different functions.
