Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function. Be sure to use the definition of a function

Explanation:

A function is a relationship where any one x-value/input only has <u>one </u>corresponding y-value/output. (note: a y-value can have multiple x-values).

> This can be called "assigning one y-value to every x element".

The vertical line test places a line that would connect all y-values of an x-value (that is, if it were to have multiple y-values). If multiple points can be found along the vertical line, it is, therefore, by the definition of a function, not a function. (Because an x-value will have more than one y-value).

So, a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function because an x-value will correspond with more than one y-value.

hope this helps!!

Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the common difference/ratio in simplest form.
Nana76 [90]

Step-by-step explanation:

this is clearly not a linear sequence (the terms don't have the same difference).

so, it has to be a geometric sequence.

the common ratio is r.

s2 = s1 × r

16 = 64 × r

r = 16/64 = 1/4

control :

s3 = s2×r

4 = 16 × 1/4 = 4

correct.

To most closely estimate the difference below, would you round the numbers to the nearest ten thousand, the nearest thousand, or
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To most closely estimate the difference, I would round 62,980 to the nearest thousand, so it will be 63,000. That is because when rounding, 63,000 is large enough so that adding will be easy, and 62,980 is relatively close to 63,000.

I would round 49,625 to the nearest thousand, since it would make the subtraction easier and 49,625 is only 375 units away from 50,000.

63,000 - 50,000 = about 13,000.

Hope this helps!
