Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation 1)A vertical line can be represented by the equation x=a, where a can be any number. If you think about it, there is no y in the function, this making it not a function.

Explanation 2) For a line to be a function it has to pass the vertical line test, so you will draw a vertical line through the function and if it touches more than one point then it is not a function. In this case if you draw a vertical line through a vertical line there are an infinite number of places where the lines intercept, so it is not a function.

Answer:

No it is not a function

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x. ... If the vertical line you drew intersects the graph more than once for any value of x then the graph is not the graph of a function.

1 point) during a winter season at one ski resort, there are two roads from area a to area b and two roads from area b to area

miss Akunina [59]

Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)

Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875

Which inequality is true?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C. 5 $\pi$ > 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given series of inequalities, the inequality sign determines the final outcome.

A. 4 $\pi$ - 2 < 10

4 $\pi$ < 12

$\pi$ < 3

Since $\pi$ < 3, then the inequality is false

B. $\pi$ + 9 < 12

$\pi$ < 3

Since $\pi$ < 3, then the inequality is false

c. 5 $\pi$ > 15

$\pi$ > 3

Since $\pi$ > 3, then the inequality is true

D. 6 > 2 $\pi$

3 > $\pi$

Since $\pi$ < 3, then the inequality is false

Thus, the only inequality that is true is option C.

If a regular decagon with 6 cm sides has an area of 276.99 cm squared, what is the length of the apothem to the nearest hundredt

bezimeni [28]

According to the attached formula:
apothem = side length / 2 * tan (180/number of sides)
apothem = 6 / 2 * tan (180/10)
apothem = 6 / 2 * 0.32492
apothem = 9.23 cm
