Question

A beautician sees clients each day to paint full sets of nails. The function g(x) represents the number of finger nails painted, where x is the number of clients seen by the beautician. Does a possible solution of (20, 20) make sense for this function? Explain your answer.

Yes. The input and output are both possible.
No. The input is not possible.
No. The output is not possible.
No. Neither the input nor output is possible.

Answer 1

g(x) = g(20) = 20

Explanation:

The input and output variables are the first and second values respectively in the enclosed bracket. For the scenario described, Yes, the input and output are both possible

Given a solution of (20, 20) :

Here, input x = 20

Output, g(x) = 20

If the function, g(x) = x

g(x) = number of nails painted

x = number of clients seen

For x = 20 = Number of clients seen by beautician

Then ;

g(x) = g(20) = 20

Therefore, both the input and output are possible in the scenario described.

Answer 2

Answer: yes

Explanation:

The input and output are both possible.
