It is given that y is a function of x, and y is 5 when x is 3.

Represent x = 3 and y = 5 using function notation.

A. f(3) = 15

B. f(x) = 5

C. f(5) = 3

D. f(y) = 3

E. f(3) = 5

1 answer

To represent the information that \( y \) is a function of \( x \) and that \( y = 5 \) when \( x = 3 \) using function notation, we write:

  • \( f(3) = 5 \)

This indicates that when the input to the function \( f \) is 3, the output is 5.

Among the options provided, the correct representation is:

E. f(3) = 5
