If there are n people, each person could shake hands with 0 people, 1 person, 2 people,... on up to shaking hands with n − 1
people. Count how many different answers there are to asking the person the question "How many hands did you shake?" How many people are there? If the people are the pigeons, and the possible answers to the question "how many hands did you shake" are the holes, can we conclude anything yet? No? How about now noticing that at least one of the holes "I shook hands with noone" or "I shook hands with everyone" has to be empty... now what?

"Since there are more pigeons than holes there must be a hole with at least two pigeons in the same hole" Now, replace the word "pigeons" and "holes" with the appropriate terms for the context of your specific question, remember we are talking about people and number of handshakes they participated in.

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE EXTRA POINTS
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

  C

Step-by-step explanation:

A relation is a function if each input gives exactly one output. There is one price for each number of pounds, so the relation is a function.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Relations expressed in terms of ordered pairs or tables can be identified as "not a function" if any input (x) value is repeated. Relations expressed as a graph will be "not a function" if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point. (This is called "the vertical line test.")

The cost function in this case is a straight line through the origin. It has a slope of $5.99/lb. Any polynomial relation will be a function.

Determine the vertex form of g(x) = x^2 + 2x – 1. Which graph represents g(x)?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the constant to the opposite side of the equation and group terms that include the same variable.

g(x) + 1 = x^2 + 2x

Finish the square. Remember to keep the equation balanced by using the same constants on both sides.

g(x) + 1 + 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1

g(x) + 2 = x^2 + 2x + 1

Rewrite as perfect squares

g(x) + 2 = (x + 1)^2

Equation in vertex form:
g(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 2

The vertex:

(-1, -2)

* This a minimum *
