Evaluating Functions and Functions in Context

Ms. Brackemyer is collecting pencils.  The function p(x)=5x+12 tells us the total amount of pencils Ms. Brackemyer has after collecting for x number of days.  What is the meaning of p(8)=52?

• Ms. Brackemyer starts with 8 pencils and ends with 52.

• After 8 days, Ms. Brackemyer has 52 pencils.

• Ms. Brackemyer starts with 52 pencils and gets 4 more every day.

• Every day, Ms. Brackemyer gets 4 new pencils until she has 52.

A company is selling bubble gum.  The function g(x)=3x+4 tells the company how much to charge if someone buys x packages of bubble gum.  Find g(8) and tell what it means within the context of the problem.

• g(8)=8.  This means that after 8 packages of gum, the company makes $8.

• g(8)=42.  This means that 8 packages of gum costs $42.

• g(8)=28.  This means that 8 packages of gum costs $28.

• g(8)=24.  This means that 8 packages of gum costs $24.
