What is a function?

A function is a relation between the input and output of a system.

For a function, a particular input gives a certain value of output.

Given, Wayne needs to drive 470 miles.

He drives at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour.

Let, he reached Milwaukee after driving 'x' hours.

Therefore, total distance will be [tex]= 50x[/tex] miles

Let, the distance from Wayne to Milwaukee is 'y' miles.

After driving each hours, the distance between Wayne and Milwaukee will decrease by 5 miles.

After 'x' hours the distance between Wayne and Milwaukee will be 0. Wayne will reach his destination.

Therefore, the required function will be:

[tex]y = f(x) = 470 - 50x[/tex]
