This periodical demonstrates a relationship between the cost-effectiveness and transaction processing. This is a function because the relationship is paired with exactly one input. This is not a linear function because the graph is curved. The average rate of change is not constant at every interval.

This measures the relationship of the growth of tourism. This is not a function because the relationship is paired with more than one input, since there are many different factors of tourism growth and different countries are covered.
Good article and ideas. You are missing a table and a graph, but besides that all makes sense
ReplyDeletehi, leah,
ReplyDeletenice article and good graph. you left some parts off in your explanation. for instance, you did not tell whether the function was a mathematical model or not and you forgot to use function notation in your explanation. your explanation for linearity is good, but it would have been nice to see ROC calculations to confirm your conclusion.
i didn't see a table or graph for your second example and you didn't identify what is the output and what is the input variable from that article, so i don't really know whether it's an accurate example for a non-function.
other than that, pretty good. i especially like the topic of the first article.
