Question

Consider the function represented by the equation 6q = 3s - 9. Write the equation in function notation, where q is the independent variable.

Answer 1

If q is the independent variable we need to solve for s.

3s-9=6q add 9 to both sides

3s=6q+9 divide both sides by 3

s=2q+3

Answer 2

`2q+3= s`

Explanation:

Given : Function :
`6q = 3s - 9`

To Find : Write the equation in function notation, where q is the independent variable.

Solution:

For q to be the independent variable we need to make s be the dependent variable

So, Find the value of s

`6q = 3s - 9`

`6q+9= 3s`

`(6q+9)/(3)= s`

`2q+3= s`

Hence the equation in function notation, where q is the independent variable is
`2q+3= s`
