Question

When comparing prices for activities at a local recreation center, you notice that the center charges different prices on different days of the week. For example, riding a go-kart costs $10 on Saturday and Sunday and $5 on Monday through Friday.

Is the cost a function of the activity type? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Sample Answer: The activity type would be the input and the cost would be the output. Because there are two different costs for the same activity, this would not be a function.

Answer 2

No, because the activity type is not changing, the only variable in this question (other than the price) is the day of the week, So the price is a function/is affected by the day of the week rather than the activity type.
