L(t)=9-0.5t
t=time in hours,
L(t)=length of candle at time t

(A) substitute t=1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively to get
(1,8.5)
(2,8)
(3,7.5)
(4,7)
(5,6.5)
(6,6)

(B) it is a function because none of the x-values duplicate, (nor the y-values).

(C) If the rate changes to 0.45 "/hr, the relation is still linear.
All linear function with finite slope are functions.

Answer:

Part A: {(0,9),(1,8.5),(2,8),(3,7.5),(4,7),(5,6.5)}

Part B: This relation is a function, because each x input has it's own y output.

Part C: Yes, the relation would still be a function as the y-coordinate is not repeating itself for different x-coordinates. Decreasing the number of this rate of change does not affect whether the relation is a function or not.

Good luck on your test! I hope I helped :)

I wish I had an answer for you! Unfortunately, this one has stumped even professional mathematicians for over a century. It was first presented by mathematician Edmund Landau in 1912, and it’s gone unproven ever since. I can’t give you a solution, but I can definitely say you should submit your findings to a mathematical journal if you ever find one!

The speed at which a certain computer can access the internet is 2 megabytes per second. How fast is this in megabytes per hour.

Ainat [17]

$Converting\ units:\\\\ 2\frac{megabytes}{second}\\\\ 1second=\frac{1}{3600}h\\\\ 2\frac{megabytes}{second}*\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3600}}=2\frac{megabytes}{second}*\frac{3600}{1}=7200\frac{megabytes}{second}\\\\If\ 1second=\frac{1}{3600}\ you\ must\ multiply\ 2*\frac{1}{3600}\ to\ convert\ 1\ second\\ into\ hour.$
