When asked to find the value of x for which f(x)=17, Danny answered 39. What
mistake did Danny make? What is the
correct answer?

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We are not given the function in question, but in order to explain, will form a function. Suppose f(x) = 3x + 2.

If f(x) = 17, then

3x + 2 = 17, to find the value of x, we have solve for x in the equation.

3x = 17 – 2

3x = 15

x = 5

This is the method that can be used to solve problems of this nature.

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2

3       6.8
