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.

3^2+y^2=25

9+y^2=25

Subtract 9 on both sides:

y^2=25-9

y^2=16

Take the square root of both sides:

y=\pm \sqrt{16}

y=\pm 4.

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:

(\pm 5)^2+y^2=25

25+y^2=25

Subtract 25 on both sides:

y^2=25-25

Simplify:

y^2=0

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.

What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turn through, when it goes from a) 5 to 11? b)2 to 8? c)10
LenKa [72]

Answer: 1/2, 1/2, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction that the hour hand turns of a clockwise revolution, we have to find how long it is going then divide by 12

Ex. a) 11 - 5 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

b) 8 - 2 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

c) For this, we have to convert 1 into 13 as 1 - 10 is a negative number

13 - 10 = 3, 3/12 = 1/4 so the hour hand turns by 1/4 of a clockwise revolution

Chang knows one side of a triangle is 13 cm. Which set of two sides is possible for the lengths of the other two sides
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

8 cm and 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out, you add both 8 and 9 together. If the sum is above/higher than the number 13, they can all be made into a triangle. 8+9 is 17 and 17 is higher than 13.

hope this helps!
