Suppose you Just purchased a used truck. The number of miles on the odometer can be represented by the equation y = x + 40, 000, where y is the number of miles on the odometer, and x is the number of miles you have driven it. Write this equation using function notation, f(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

We write a function f(x) which gives the values of the function that are dependent on the independent variable "x".

Given: The number of miles on the odometer can be represented by the equation y = x + 40, 000, where y is the number of miles on the odometer, and x is the number of miles you have driven it.

Here y is dependent on x, so we replace y by f(x), then we get

  which is the required answer.
