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

in your answer

ArbitrLikvidat [17]1 year ago

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!!

If a baseball player has 5 hits in 20 at bats, what is the probability in the decimal to the thousandths place that he will get
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Probability = 0.250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hits = 5

Bats = 20

Required

Determine the probability of hit in next at-bat

This question illustrates theoretical probability and the required probability is calculated using:

Probability = \frac{Events\ Occurrence}{Trials}

In this case, we have:

Probability = \frac{Hits}{Bats}

Probability = \frac{5}{20}

Probability = 0.250

A taxi cab driver charges a $2.00 initial fee and $1.75 for each mile.
umka21 [38]

1. She can travel 18 miles. Subtract 35 - 2 (initial fee) to have 33. divide 33 by 1.75 to get 18.85. To check how much her total would be, use inverse operations. 18.85 * 1.75 = 32.9875. 32.9875 + 2 = 34.9875. It is barely under $35 but still in her budget.

2. 20m * $1.75 = $35. $70 - $35 = $35. Yes, she can cover the fare. Samantha has more than needed. She can afford the taxi fare and still have money left for future use.

MrRissso [65]

The average value of f(x)=4x^3-3x^2 over [-1, 3] is

\displaystyle\frac1{3-(-1)}\int_{-1}^3(4x^3-3x^2)\,\mathrm dx=\frac14\left(x^4-x^3\right)\bigg|_{-1}^3=\frac{(3^4-3^3)-(1+1)}4=\boxed{13}

5 g of margarine contains 3.6 g
Komok [63]

Answer:

59.04g of fat

II) Next, we can figure out how much fat is in 82 g of margarine:

0.72 × 82 = 59.04

One shot formula:

(3.6g ÷ 5g) × 82g = 59.04g
