Explanation:
A function is a relationship where any one x-value/input only has <u>one </u>corresponding y-value/output. (note: a y-value can have multiple x-values).
> This can be called "assigning one y-value to every x element".
The vertical line test places a line that would connect all y-values of an x-value (that is, if it were to have multiple y-values). If multiple points can be found along the vertical line, it is, therefore, by the definition of a function, not a function. (Because an x-value will have more than one y-value).
So, a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function because an x-value will correspond with more than one y-value.
hope this helps!!
Answer:
Problem 1) frequency: 160 heartbeats per minute, period= 0.00625 minutes (or 0.375 seconds)
Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period
Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.
Step-by-step explanation:
The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.
The period is (using the equation you showed above):

second problem:
Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:
loops per minute
then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)
the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:
loops per minute
then the period is:

Therefore runner B has the smaller period
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- x + y + z = -3 --> (1)
- 3y - z = 4 --> (2)
- 2x - y - 2z = -5 --> (3)
<u>Add up (1) and (2)</u>
- x + 3y + y + z - z = -3 + 4 ⇒ x + 4y = 1 --> (4)
<u>Double (2) and subtract from (3)</u>
- 2x - y - 2z - 2(3y - z) = -5 - 2(4) ⇒ 2x - y - 2z - 6y + 2z = -5 - 8
- 2x - 7y = -13 --> (5)
<u>Double (4) and subtract (5)</u>
- 2(x + 4y) - 2x + 7y = 2 + 13 ⇒ 2x + 8y - 2x + 7y = 15 ⇒ 15y = 15 ⇒ y = 1
<u>Finding x</u>
- x + 4(1) = 1 ⇒ x = 1 - 4 ⇒ x = -3
<u>Finding z</u>
<u>So the answer is: </u>
