Introduction to Functions

Question 7 • NC-Foundations of Math 1 (Fall) [1st 9 Weeks]

If the relationships below are given in the form (input, output), which pairing always describes a function?

Answer
A
(number of doors in a car, number of cup holders in the car)
B
(height of a building in feet, height of the building in inches)
C
(beverage charge on a bill, total meal charge on the bill)
D
(distance from home during a trip, time elapsed during the trip)

Explanation

A function assigns exactly one output to each input. A building’s height in inches is always its height in feet multiplied by 12, so each height in feet has exactly one corresponding height in inches. The other pairings can vary: cars with the same number of doors may have different numbers of cup holders, for example.
