Q. Reagan, a teacher's assistant, is grading quizzes. The function f(x)f(x) gives the number of quizzes she can grade in xx minutes.\newlineWhat does f(30)=15f(30) = 15 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Reagan can grade 3030 quizzes in 1515 minutes.\newline(B)Reagan can grade 1515 quizzes in 3030 minutes.
  1. Function Representation: The function f(x)f(x) represents the number of quizzes Reagan can grade in xx minutes. The function value f(30)=15f(30) = 15 means that when we input 3030 minutes into the function, the output is 1515 quizzes. This tells us how many quizzes Reagan can grade in 3030 minutes, not the other way around.
  2. Interpreting f(30)=15f(30) = 15: To interpret f(30)=15f(30) = 15 correctly, we need to understand that the input x=30x = 30 represents the time in minutes, and the output f(x)=15f(x) = 15 represents the number of quizzes graded. Therefore, f(30)=15f(30) = 15 means Reagan can grade 1515 quizzes in 3030 minutes.
