Ok Im a lazy kid dont want to find it out for my self.I got this math problem that I dont understand.

Write a rule that exspresses the months m(y) as a function of the number of years y.

I cant figure this out.All help is great
 
Find it out yourself you lazy kid.
 
Ya im trying homeschooling for one year and I hate it.The stupid book cant help you when you need help.Plus they dont describe it well.
 
yes I could but it is very close to the end of the school year so why would I do it.
 
Better to learn a little than nothing at all, dude.
 
Is it just me or is that answer wrong?

it should be:
m(y) = 12y

So, if you input 1 year (y = 1), then you get 12 as the solution (12 months in 1 year).

No,
Let m= the number of months
Let y = number of years

m=y/12
 
Y>m could work too.

EDIT: No it couldn't. I suck at maths.
 
LOL @ rabarber


Thanks for that hearty laugh of the day.
 
No,
Let m= the number of months
Let y = number of years

m=y/12

If we plug in 1 for y: m=(1)/12 we are going to get 1/12 months. That equation is telling us what part of a year a month is.

Try: y = m/12
This equation will tell you how many months (m) are in (y) years.

ex.)Solve for 2 years:

2 = m/12

12(2) = m

24 = m

24 months in 2 years


( Technically the equation should be written f(m)=m/12 )

Oops, a small typo lol

Yeh
y=m/12

You said you're lazy, then why the hell are you trying to homeschool yourself.

I was homeschooled for 12 years, didn't hurt me any, but I had to apply myself.
