When comparing prices for rides at a carnival, you notice that they charge different prices on different days of the week. For example, the Ferris wheel costs
$8 on Saturday and Sunday and $4 on Monday through Friday. Is the cost a function of the activity type? Explain why or why not.

Sagot :

No, it is not.

Explanation:

A function is a relation in which each element of the domain, or x-value, is mapped to one element of the range, or y-value.

The question we are asked is if cost is a function of the activity type.  This means that cost would be the range and activity type would be the domain.

If this is a function, then each activity type would have only one cost.  However, on different days of the week each activity type has different prices; this means there is more than one cost for each activity type, and it is not a function.
