Question

interpreting function notation

1. g(y) = 3 + 4(12)
2. y = 9.4
3. g(2)

	question 1	question 2	question 3
function notation g(□)	g(12)	g(9.4)
g(y) with substitution	3 + 4(12)
evaluated function	51

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the function pattern

From Question 1, we see \( g(12)=3 + 4(12) \). So the function \( g(y) \) seems to follow \( g(y)=3 + 4y \).

Step2: Substitute \( y = 9.4 \) into \( g(y) \)

For Question 2, we need to find \( g(9.4) \). Using the function pattern \( g(y)=3 + 4y \), substitute \( y = 9.4 \).
So \( g(9.4)=3+4\times9.4 \).

Step3: Calculate the value

First, calculate \( 4\times9.4 = 37.6 \). Then, \( 3+37.6 = 40.6 \).

Answer:

\( 40.6 \)
