Use function notation to represent each statement.

The amount of rain 90 minutes after it started raining was the same as the amount 120 minutes after it started raining.

Function f gives the temperature, in Celsius, t hours after midnight. Use function notation to write an equation or expression for each statement. The temperature was the same at 9 a.m. and at 4 p.m.

• f(9) = f(4)

• f(9) = f(16)

• f(9) = 4

• f(9) = 16
