Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function

1 answer:

5 0

For any given y value, there can only be one x value. Let's consider a graph with a line that curves and intersects x=2 twice. This would mean that if you plug 2 into the function you would get two answers. However, this is not possible as plugging in any value to x will result in only one answer. For example, if y= 4x + 3, no matter how many times I plug a number in there, I'm always going to get the same y value, and this is true for all real functions.

Answer:

see in the picture, the perimeter of this rectangle is

2( x + 3x) = 8x but the perimeter is 65.6

=> 8x = 65.6

<=> x = 65.6/8

=> x = 8.2

A pigpen is to be enclosed using 640 m of fencing along three of its sides, the fourth side being a barn. Determine the dimensio

Basile [38]

Answer:

$W_{max}=480m\\ L_{max}=160m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know we only have 640 feet of fence available, we know that L + W + L = 640, $\implies$ 2L + W = 640. This allows us to represent the width, W, in terms of L: W = 640 – 2L

Remember, the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its width and length, therefore,

$A_{\rm pigpen}=L(640-2L)\implies 640L-2L^2$

Notice that, quadratic has been vertically reflected, since the coefficient on the squared term is negative, so the graph will open downwards, and the vertex will be a maximum value for the area.

recall,

$x_{max}=-b/2a$
$f(x)_{max}=f(x_{max})$

Since our function is A(L)=640L-2L², we get

a=-2
b=640

plug in the value of a and b into the first formula:

$L_{max}=-(640)/2(-2)\implies 160$

$A(L)_{max}=640(160)-2(160)^2\implies 76800$

hence,the dimensions of the pen that will maximize the area are L=160m and W=76800/160=480m

and we're done!
