Answer:
In order to represent functions as graphs, first we need to make a table of x and y values and plot those x,y values on the graph
Explanation:
Suppose we have a statement as below:-
The cost of carrot is $2.50/lb
We can convert this statement into a function as
total cost = price per lb * weight of carrot bought
Let y be the total cost and x be weight of carrot bought
So,
y = 2.50 * x
where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable
A function represents an equation that shows the relationship between the input x and the output y.
The input x is also known as the Domain
The output y is also known as the Range
1) We can represent this function as a graph. In order to make a graph we need to begin by making a table containing inputs and their corresponding outputs.
Input, x (lb) Output, y ($)
0 0
1 2.50
2 5.00
3 7.50
The above table is generated by plugging in the values of x as 0, 1, 2, 3 into the function y=2.50*x and calculating the corresponding value of y
2) Now, we just need to plot the above pair of x,y values on the graph as shown in the attached figure.
