Question

The height of the plant is given by the equation h = 0.5d + 4. Rewrite this as a function rule where f(x) is the height, in centimeters, and x is the time, in days. Use the rule to complete the table, and then use the drawing tools to create the graph representing this relationship.

Answer 1

Here's what I get

Explanation:

h = 0.5d + 4

A function rule tells you how to convert an input value (x) into an output value (y).

Your function rule is

ƒ(x) = 0.5x + 4

An easy way to represent your function is to make a graph.

The easiest way to make a graph is to make a table containing some inputs and their corresponding outputs.

Here's a typical table.

`\begin{array}{cc}\textbf{x} &\textbf{y} \\0 & 4 \\2 & 5 \\4 & 6 \\6 & 7\\6 & 8 \\\end{array}`

The graph is like the one below.
