Homework on Functions - Questions

[Rodolfogzr]

1. Describe what a function does in your own words:

• A function (f) is a mathematical operation with variables (Ex = Input x) that changes the result depending on the value introduced in the variable. The value of the output depends on the value of the input.
• A function (f) is a set of rules that will be applied to an variable input (Ex= Variable x). The value of the output depends on the value of the input.

2. Calculate the output of the following function

f(x) = {

x^2 if x is even

x+10 if x is odd

}

What will be the output for the following inputs?

• a) f(2) = Because 2 is an even number then = 2^2 = 4 = 4
• b) f(7) = 17 Because 7 is an odd number then = 7+10 = 17
• c) f(0) = 0 Because 0 is an even number then = 0^0 = 0

3. Write the definition of a function f that takes an input x, divides it by four and then outputs that result subtracted by 5.

f(x) = { (x/4) – 5 }

Homework on Functions– Questions

Describe what a function does in your own words

A function is a mathematical tool that applies various mathematical operations to a particular input in order to derive a final output (based on that initial input). Functions can also apply multiple mathematical operations to more than one input at a time, in order to produce, once again, a final output.

Calculate the output of the following function

f(x) = {

x^2 if x is even

x+10 if x is odd

}

What will be the output for the following inputs?
a) f(2) --> f(2) = 2^2 = 4
b) f(7) --> f(7) = 7 + 10 = 17
c) f(0) --> f(0) = 0^2 = 0

Write the definition of a function f that takes an input x, divides it by four, and then outputs that result subtracted by 5.

Mathematically, this translates as:
f(x) = x/4 - 5

[Ruben99]

1. A function produces an output by applying different calculations on an input.

2. a) 4
   b) 17
   c)0

3. f(x) => x/4-5

[Assentis77]

1 - Functions are what we use to resolve a math calculation, given an input. The math operations, gives us the correct output, with the given conditions

2-
A) - 4
B) - 17
C) - 0

3 - f(X) = x/4-5

[rishibehl4]

1. Function does the computation by taking into an input that relates to an output. Like a machine, one has to put something (input) from one end of the machine, then it gets changed within the machine (function), and come out from the other end a complete product (output).

2. f(2) = 4; f(7) = 17; f(0) = 0

3. f(x) = {x/4} - 5

[Manuel1982]

1. A function is like a program it tells you what to calculate and in which order and how, it shows the relation between input and output.

2a) f(2) = 2 *2 + 4
2b) f(7) = 17
2c) f(0) = 0

3. f(x) = (x / 4) - 5

[AdamK]

1. A function is a mathematical equation with x being the variable and the input. The answer you get being the output.
2. a) = 4
   b) = 17
