Question

60 PTS!! We often use functions to model or represent situations and relationships. These
representations can be as equations, graphs, tables, or even verbal descriptions.
What does it mean to "represent" something? In what other situations have you heard that term used, and how was its meaning in those situations similar to its usage in
algebra?

Answer 2

Answer:

To represent something is basically a fancy way to say "show". For example, when texting sometimes you put a certain emoji, it represents certain emotions or expressions. Like a mad face can be represented by using the emoji that looks angry. Its kind of the same thing in algebra. If you have a graph that shows an equation and you have to write out the equation, it would be shown on the graph. This goes to show that said equation is represented on that graph.
