Question

Jeff writes comic strips for a local newspaper. The number of comic strips he creates is represented by the function ( f(x) = 3x ), where ( f(x) ) gives the number of comic strips and ( x ) is the number of work hours he puts in, which varies day to day. If he puts in 3,4,6,7,9 work hours, how many comic strips can he write?

A. 9
B. 12
C. 18
D. 21

Answer 1

For 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 work hours, Jeff can write 9, 12, 18, 21, and 27 comic strips respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of comic strips Jeff can write, we need to evaluate the function f(x) = 3x for each given value of x.

For x = 3, f(3) = 3 * 3 = 9 comic strips.

For x = 4, f(4) = 3 * 4 = 12 comic strips.

For x = 6, f(6) = 3 * 6 = 18 comic strips.

For x = 7, f(7) = 3 * 7 = 21 comic strips.

For x = 9, f(9) = 3 * 9 = 27 comic strips.

So, Jeff can write 9, 12, 18, 21, and 27 comic strips for 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 work hours respectively.
