Domain and Range

Three Different Functions?

Consider the function \(f(x)=6+1.5x\).

Three Different Functions?

Consider the function \(f(x)=6+1.5x\).

Possible contexts:

  • \(f(x)\) is the cost of a pizza with \(x\) toppings.
    • Graph is a line of individual points.
    • Graph starts at \(x=0\).
  • \(f(x)\) is the cost of a taxi ride of \(x\) km.
