In this analysis, we explore how pumpkin pricing works at the patch, where the cost is $0.25 per pound. If Kim selects a pumpkin costing $20, we establish how many pounds it weighs using the function F(x) = 0.25x. We identify the independent variable (number of pounds) and the dependent variable (cost), confirming it is a function due to unique x-values. The domain consists of non-negative integers, while the range reflects the corresponding costs. This relationship is modeled as continuous, illustrating a straightforward linear correlation.

Functions! By: Haylee Garner
Problem: • Kim went to the pumpkin patch. The price for pumpkins were .25 cents per pound. If I picked out a pumpkin that was $20. How many pounds was Kim’s pumpkin?
Equation Y=.25 or F(x)=.25
Independent and Dependent Variables • Independent- number of pounds • Dependent- cost
Is this a function?? • Yes it’s a function because the x values don’t repeat.
Domain and Range • Domain- The x values (0,1,2,3,4) • Range- The y values (0,.25,.50,.75,1)
Continuous or Discrete? • It’s continuous because it’s a straight line and all the points connect.
