Determine whether the statements use the word function in ways that are mathematically correct. Explain your reasoning. (a) The sales tax on a purchased item is a function of the selling price. (b) Your score on the next algebra exam is a function of the number of hours you study the night before the exam.
Find a mathematical model that represents the statement. (Determine the constant of proportionality.) \(P\) varies directly as \(x\) and inversely as the square of \(y .\) \(\left(P=\frac{28}{3} \text { when } x=42 \text { and } y=9 .\right)\)
Find the difference quotient and simplify your Answer: $$f(t)=\frac{1}{t-2}, \quad \frac{f(t)-f(1)}{t-1}, \quad t \neq 1$$
Evaluate the function for the indicated values. \(h(x)=[x+3]\) (a) \(h(-2)\) (b) \(h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) (c) \(h(4.2)\) (d) \(h(-21.6)\)
Determine whether the statements use the word function in ways that are mathematically correct. Explain your reasoning. (a) The amount in your savings account is a function of your salary.
