Question

Using ​f(x) = 3x + 8​, ​f(80​) can be found by applying the distributive property to ​(3x + 8​)80. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Simplify your answer.) A. This statement makes sense because the notation f(80) represents "times 80." So. 1(80) is equal to ________ B. The statement does not make sense because the notation f(80) represents the value of the function f(x) = 3x + 8 at x = 80. So, 1(80) is equal to ________

Answer 1

B. The statement does not make sense because the notation f(80) represents the value of the function f(x) = 3x + 8 at x = 80. So f(80) = 3(80) + 8 = 240 + 8 = 248.
