Question

Select whether the function is discrete or continuous.Function: The number of bull eyes scored for each hour of practice.The function is (select)(select)discretecontinuous

Answer 1

Discrete

Explanation:

A function is discrete when it is not smoothly defined, i.e it is not defined for every value of the independent variable and its graph has holes or it changes abruptly.

For example,

Now, the number of bullseyes scored for each hour of practice comes as points on a graph because this function is not defined on minutes and so we get a graph similar to the one drawn above.

Hence, we can say that number of bullseyes scored for each hour is a discrete function.
