Question 296105: I was given this problem to solve:
f(x) = 12/7
Evaluate for f(6).
I cannot see how this is a function, since there is only one variable on the left side of the equation. The answer I submitted was that there was no real solution and I was graded as wrong. Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

No matter what x is f(x)=12/7
So f(6) is still 12/7
It is a function. y can have many x's (think zeroes or roots) but x can have only one y. So x=12/7 is not a function.
