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.

Is the relation a function? Why.

• Yes, because the x-value 11 has two y-values pair with it.

• Yes, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.

• No, because the x-value 11 has two y-values pair with it.

• No, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it.
