Question

Melissa reserves another rectangular patch in her vegetable garden for growing bell peppers. Since the space that shecan reserve for a rectangular bell pepper patch depends on how large she makes the tomato patch, she uses function pto represent the area of the bell pepper patch, where x is the length of the tomato patch.Question Match the real world description with the features they represent within the context of melissa’s garden not all tiles will be used.

Answer 1

The function to be used is called "p" and represents the area of the pepper patch to be constructed. It should depend on the length of the tomatopatch (this dimension/variable is called "x")

Therefore, p(x) is how we write the function in mathematical terms.

Now, the domain of this function consists as all domains as the possible x values that could render a viable answer. so, the Domain is:

Domain = {set of all possible lengths of the tomato patch} This description better describes that given in the very first option on the top left.

The y-intercept: Recall that the variable we are representing on the y-axis (vertical axis), and the intersect occurs when the x-value is zero.

So y-intercept = The area of the pepper patch when the length of the tomato patch is zero (last option - bottom right)

x-intercepts: The points at which p is zero, So the length of the tomato patch when the area of the pepper patch is zero. (This is the bottom left option they give you).

The Range: is all possible answer for the area of the pepper patch. Which is best described by the middle top option they gave you.
