Q. A new candy store opened at the mall, and all candy is the same price. The function f(x)f(x) gives the price, in dollars, of xx ounces of candy.\newlineWhat does f(4)=1f(4) = 1 tell you?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)It costs $1\$1 to buy 44 ounces of candy.\newline(B)It costs $4\$4 to buy 11 ounce of candy.
  1. Understand function f(x)f(x): Understand the function f(x)f(x) and what xx represents.\newlineThe function f(x)f(x) gives the price, in dollars, of xx ounces of candy. Here, xx represents the number of ounces of candy.
  2. Interpret function value f(4)f(4): Interpret the function value f(4)=1f(4) = 1. Since f(x)f(x) represents the price for xx ounces, f(4)=1f(4) = 1 tells us that the price for 44 ounces of candy is $1\$1.
  3. Choose correct option: Choose the correct option based on the interpretation of the function value.\newlineOption (A) states that it costs $1\$1 to buy 44 ounces of candy, which matches our interpretation from Step 22. Option (B) suggests it costs $4\$4 to buy 11 ounce of candy, which is not what f(4)=1f(4) = 1 indicates.
