Answer:
No because it contains points (3,4) and (3,-4). You cannot have a x assigned to more than one y-value if you want it to be a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
A function has one output per input.
If we are trying to determine if the given is a function of x, then x is the input.
However I can get two outputs from plugging in x=3.
Subtract 9 on both sides:
Take the square root of both sides:
.
So input x=3 yields y=4 and y=-4.
Since this input has more than one output then the given is not a function of x.
----Also!
If you graph the equation, it is a circle with radius 5 and center (0,0). So I could I plug in any number for x between -5 and 5 excluding -5 and 5 which would yield only one output each. Since plugging in either one gives:
Subtract 25 on both sides:
Simplify:
There is only one value y such that when you square it gives you 0. That is 0.
x=5 only gives y=0 and x=-5 only gives y=0.
There is no circle, unless it is a circle with radius 0 which means it really wouldn't be a circle, that is a function.
To solve this problem, we need to know 2 relationships:
<h2>1. AC = AB + BC</h2>The distance of AC is the sum of AB and BC.
We know this since the distance of going from A to C (AC) is the same as going from A to B (AB), then B to C (BC).
<h2>2. AB = BC</h2>The distance of AB is the same as AC.
We know this since B is in the middle of AC, so the distance from B to A (BA) is the same as the distance from B to C (BC).
You can see the attached image (at the bottom) for a visualization of this.
<h2>Putting them together</h2>Since we know the values of AB and BC...
...we can put these values into our 2nd equation and solve for x:
Add 7 to both sides:
Subtract x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Knowing x, we can find the distance of AC using our first equation.
Let's put in the values of AB and BC:
Before we put in x = 8, we can simplify this:
We group x and 3x and add those together. Then we subtract 7 from 9.
With this equation, we can put in x = 8:
Since 4 * 8 = 32:
Finally, we have found both x and AC.
<h2>Answer</h2>x = 8
AC = 34
