What is a Function?

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.

As the function that can be used to determine the number of fish that can be caught is given by the formula,

[tex]f(t) = 0.25t+1[/tex]

Now, if substitute the value of t=15 minutes, the number of fish that will be caught in 15 minutes will be,

[tex]f(15) = (0.25\times 15)+1 = 3.75 + 1 =4.75[/tex]

As the fish can not be a fraction(decimal), therefore, the number of fish that will be caught in 15 minutes will be 5.
