Question

The volume of a cube depends on the lengh of its sides.This can be written in function notation as v(s). What is the best interpretation of v(2)=8?

Answer 1

the answer is v =4 because 4 times (2) is equivalent to 8

Answer 2

When the sides of the cube measure
`2\ units`, then the volume of the cube is
`8\ units ^ 3`

Explanation:

The function notation v(s) means that the value of the function depends on the value of the variable s.

In this case v(s) represents the volume of a cube. The variable s represents the length of the sides of the cube. Note that the value of the volume of the cube v(s), depends on the length of the sides of the cube: s

In this context v(2) is the volume of the cube when the length of its sides s is equal to 2.

Finally we interpret
`v(2) = 8` as follows: When the sides of the cube measure
`2\ units`, then the volume of the cube is
`8\ units ^ 3`
