(a)
To calculate: To identify independent and dependent variables
(a)
Answer to Problem 18E
Independent variable is
Explanation of Solution
Given: Function
Formula Used:
A variable is an one that we are trying to measure and are of two types:
- Independent Variable: That stands alone and isn’t changed by the other variables
- Dependent Variable: That depends on the other variables
Calculation:
Given the function that represents the cost
Here, value of variable
Whilevalue of variable
Conclusion:
Hence, Independent variable is
(b)
To calculate: To find the domain andrange
(b)
Answer to Problem 18E
Domain is
Range is
Explanation of Solution
Given: Function
Formula Used:
Domain is the set of all first elements of ordered pair (x-coordinate)
Range is the set of all second elements of ordered pair (y-coordinate)
Calculation:
Given the function that represents the cost
Also, given that person has enough money to travel at most
Domain is given as
Let us calculate the cost for each value of domain
Miles (x) | Cost (y)
|
0 | 2.8 |
1 | 6.1 |
2 | 9.4 |
3 | 12.7 |
4 | 16.0 |
5 | 19.3 |
6 | 22.6 |
7 | 25.9 |
8 | 29.2 |
9 | 32.5 |
10 | 35.8 |
11 | 39.1 |
12 | 42.4 |
13 | 45.7 |
14 | 49 |
15 | 52.3 |
16 | 55.6 |
17 | 58.9 |
18 | 62.2 |
19 | 65.5 |
Range is given as
Conclusion:
Hence, domain is
range is
