Question

Jeremy’s car travels 26 miles per gallon of gas (g). If the distance traveled (d) can be given by a function, what is the input of this function?

Answer 1

g

Explanation:

This is the answer

Answer 2

The input of this function is:

Gallons of gas used (g)

Explanation:

Input of a function--

The input of the function is the variable whose value is assigned in the problem and in correspondence to that the output value is obtained.

It is given that:

Jeremy’s car travels 26 miles per gallon of gas (g).

This means that with the help of 1 gallon of gas 26 miles could be traveled.

and hence with the help of g gallons of gas :

The distance traveled will be: 26g

i.e. the function is modeled using the equation

d=26g

Hence, when we input the value g we obtain the output d.
