Question

1. which of the following functions is represented by the statement, \a number is five more than three times another number\?

a ( f(x) = 3x + 5 )
b ( f(x) = 3x - 5 )
c ( f(x) = 5x + 3 )
d ( f(x) = 5x + 5 )

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the statement

The statement is "A number is five more than three times another number". Let the "another number" be \( x \). "Three times another number" is \( 3x \), and "five more than" that is \( 3x + 5 \). So the function should be \( f(x)=3x + 5 \).

Step2: Match with options

Looking at the options, option A is \( f(x)=3x + 5 \), which matches our derived function.

Answer:

A. \( f(x) = 3x + 5 \)
