Q. In P.E. class, Owen gets to climb ropes! His height above the ground after x seconds of climbing is given by the function f(x). The height is measured in feet.What does f(12)=25 tell you?Choices:(A) Owen climbed to a height of 25 feet in 12 seconds.(B) Owen climbed to a height of 12 feet in 25 seconds.
Understand function f(x): Understand the function f(x) and what x represents.The function f(x) represents Owen's height above the ground in feet after x seconds of climbing. The variable x represents the number of seconds Owen has been climbing.
Interpret given function value: Interpret the given function value f(12)=25.Since f(x) gives Owen's height after x seconds, f(12)=25 tells us that Owen's height above the ground is 25 feet after 12 seconds of climbing.
Choose correct option: Choose the correct option based on the interpretation of the function value.Based on the interpretation from Step 2, the correct option is:(A) Owen climbed to a height of 25 feet in 12 seconds.
