Answer:

<em>A.</em><em> There were 400 larvae at 0 degree Celsius.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

x = the temperature of water in °C

y = the number of insect larvae in the water

The graph is a graph of quadratic function as it is a parabola and it opens downward, so it has a negative leading coefficient i.e coefficient of x² is negative.

At y intercept, the line or curve passes through y axis. At y intercept the value of x is zero, because on y axis the value of x is 0.

As the y intercept in this case is (0, 400), so at y intercept value of x is 0 and y is 400.

Therefore, at y intercept or at 0°C there were 400 larvae.

Which of the following is not a function?
rusak2 [61]
Answer: B

Number on the left: x-value
Number on the right: y-value

If there are 2 y-values for one x-value it is NOT considered a function.

For instance in the answer:

(2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)

You can clearly see that the x-values (2 & 3) repeat more than once; therefore, it is NOT a function.

On the other hand if you have 2 DIFFERENT x-values for the same y-value it IS A FUNCTION.

For ex D: (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)

As you can see there are 4 DIFFERENT x-values with same y-value; therefore it is A FUNCTION

To make it easier:

If x-values appear more than once = NOT A FUNCTION

If x-values appear only ONCE = FUNCTION

Remember: y-values are ALLOWED to repeat

I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

N x 50 = 5,000. Explain your solution
prohojiy [21]
In order to figure out what N is you have to isolate it by dividing by 50 on both sides as shown below:
N*50=5000\\\frac{n*50}{50}=\frac{5000}{50}\\n=100
