The function that relates the area of the pepper patch to the length of the
tomato patch in Melisa's garden is a quadratic function.
The correct matches are;
- x-intercepts [tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] Length of the tomato patch when the area of the bell pepper patch is 0
- Domain [tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] All possible lengths of the tomato patch
- Range [tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] All possible areas of the bell pepper patch
- y-intercept [tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] Area of the bell pepper patch when the length of the tomato patch is 0
Details of the method used to obtain the correct match
By definition of the terms, we have;
The range of a function is the set of values of the possible outcomes based on the set of inputs.
The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of the input variable, x.
The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of x = 0
The x-intercept is the value of the input variable, x, that gives an output of 0.
The probable function that represents the area of the bell pepper patch, obtained from a similar question posted online is presented as follows;
p(x) = -0.5·x² + 6·x
Where:
p(x) = The area of the bell pepper patch
x = The length of the tomato patch
The domain is therefore;
- All possible values of x which is the length of the tomato patch.
- The range is all possible values of p(x) which is the area of the bell pepper patch.
- The y-intercept is the value of the function when the x, the length of the tomato patch is 0.
- The x-intercept is the value of x, the length of the tomato patch, when the function, p(x), the area of the bell pepper patch, is 0.
