Question 9 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]

Is the airplane’s altitude a function of time?

Answer
A
Yes, because any input of time results in only one output of altitude.
B
Yes, because the airplane increases and decreases in altitude at the same rate.
C
No, because each output of altitude has more than one input of time.
D
No, because the altitude is constant between 60 minutes and 130 minutes.

Explanation

A relationship is a function when each input has exactly one output. At any given time, the airplane has one altitude, even if it later reaches that same altitude again. So the airplane’s altitude is a function of time; choice A states this reason.
