Answer: No, the friend is correct. In any function, each input value can only lead to one output value. When you input 3 for the x-values, you would get two output values because 3 is included in both equations. To fix this, you need to have the 3 not included in one of the equations.

For example, you could say y=\left \{ {{2x-2, x\leq 3} \atop {-3, x > 3}} \right. or y=\left \{ {{2x-2, x < 3} \atop {-3, x\geq 3}} \right. because the input value of 3 would not be included twice.

If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that if you keep your friend's function, inputting 3 will result in two outputs of 4 and -3, so therefore, y=\left \{ {{2x-2,x\leq 3} \atop {-3,x\geq 3}} \right. cannot represent a piecewise function.

A parallelogram has a base of 4.5 cm and an area of 9.495 cm². Tania wrote the equation 4.5x = 9.495 to represent this situation
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The height of the parallelogram is 2.11 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the parallelogram is equal to multiplication of base and height.

Given:

Parallelogram has base of 4.5 cm.

Are of the parallelogram is 9.495 cm².

Equation is 4.5x=9.495

Calculation:

(a)

Are of the parallelogram is the product of base length and height of the parallelogram.

Area of the parallelogram is expressed as follow:

A=lh          

Substitute 9.495 cm² for A and 4.5 cm for l in above equation as follows:

9.495=4.5h             …… (1)

Now relate the equation (1) and given equation. So, here x is nothing but the height of the parallelogram.

(b)

From equation (1), height of the parallelogram is calculated as follows:

9.495=4.5h

h=\frac{9.495}{4.5}

h=2.11 cm

Thus, the height of the parallelogram is 2.11 cm.

frez [133]

Answer:

About 48 members would be expected to say that dues be raised

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we shall be using a case of a representative sampling to determine the actual.

Out of the 100 selected members, 6 said the dues should be raised;

This represents a percentage of 6/100 = 6%

So out of the 800, the expected number of members that would ask for a dues raising will be;

6/100 * 800 = 48
