Question

The height of a tree, h, depends on its age, a. The ______________________________ is a function of ____________________. The function notation is __ ( __ ).

Answer 1

a. The height is a function of age is denoted as

=> f(age) = age * constant

Explanation:

The function f: Age ⇒ Height, where age is from the set Age and height is from the set Height.

The age is the independent variable whose value determines the value of the dependent variable height and the constant is a part of the equation and a number that does not change.

height = age * constant

f(age) = age * constant = height

Eg: if height = age * 3 , where f(5), the height or the f(age) of the height is;

f(5) = 5 * 3 = 15,

The height is 15.
