Question

Let the function p be defined as , where c is a constant. If , what is the value of ?

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. The value of p (12) depends on the value of the constant c , so the value of c must first be determined. It is given that p ( c ) = 10. Based on the definition of p , it follows that: This means that for all values of x . Therefore: Choice A is incorrect. It is the value of p (8), not p (12). Choices B and C are incorrect. If one of these values were correct, then x = 12 and the selected value of p (12) could be substituted into the equation to solve for c . However, the values of c that result from choices B and C each result in p ( c ) < 10.
