Question

Bruce pitches for his little brother's baseball team. He has observed that the number of pitches a batter hits varies and is given by the function f(x) = x – 11, where x is the number of pitches and f(x) is the number of hits. If batters get {4, 12, 14, 27, 42} hits, how many pitches did Bruce throw? A. {13, 21, 24, 26, 44} B. {17, 24, 27, 28, 35} C. {20, 27, 32, 33, 45} D. {15, 23, 25, 38, 53}

Answer 1

D.{15,23,25,38,53}

Explanation:

Replace f(x) with any other variables of your choice.

Substitute the value of the variable for the given set of hits

that is {4,12,14,27,42}

Solve for x for each value of the variable from the above set

Put all the solution for x in a set that is inside {,} brackets.

The correct option should be D
