    What will be the output for the following inputs?

  • a) f(2) - 4
  • b) f(7) - 17
  • c) f(0) - 0
  1. Write the definition of a function f that takes an input x, divides it by four and then outputs that result subtracted by 5.

Q1: A function is simply a mathematical term for a calculation. It takes an input performs a calculation to create an output.

Q2:
a) f(2) = 4
b) f(7) = 17
c) f(0) = 0

Q3:

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

Nice to disagree but sorry to tell you that you are absolute wrong for this homework because you mix algebra symbols with logic symbols! It is the same as if you would try to solve chemical problems through physics. Plus logical symbols in maths are mostly used to explain something that you can’t explain quickly by words https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic#Mathematical_logic When they say ^ means and. It doesn’t mean plus as you think. It means if we have a wall AND(^) want to go through, we make a door. The ^ as a mathematical symbol for this homework means in the power of. https://www.rapidtables.com/math/symbols/Basic_Math_Symbols.html#basic look at the link you providet at the beggining were it says a^b. Plus you write it a little bigger and not on top https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols

  1. Describe what a function does in your own words
    A function is basically computation which contains an input and an output, and it will execute whatever you program it to do.

  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)
  • b) f(7)
  • c) f(0)

Quick remark* I think ^ is supposed to be a + in this part of the function; (x^2 if x is even)
Assuming that I am right the answers should be:

a)4
b)17
c)0

  1. 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/4) = x/4-5

  1. Functions serve as mathematical formula. Input will be calculated and an output will be given, depending on the function.

2 )
x^2 = 4 because 2 x 2 = 4

f(7) = 17 because 7 + 10 = 17

f(0) = 0 because 0 is not a number

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

  1. Describe what a function does in your own words
    It is a sort of converter where the programmed input will go through a pre-calculated function and create an output. Whenever the input is changed, the output will also be changed mathematically.

  2. Calculate the output of the following function

f(x) = {

x^2 if x is even

x+10 if x is odd

}

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