N•2>8
then dive both sides 2n>8
and get n>4
Let's say the first truck weighs x tons
Then, the weight of 2nd truck = x+2 tons
The weight of 3rd truck = (x + 2) + 2 = x+4 tons
The weight of 4th truck = (x + 4) + 2 = x+6 tons
Total weight of 4 trucks:
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 32
which can be solved easily to give x = 5
It can have however many x intercepts it wants,
<span>BUT, to be a function it must pass the vertical line test. </span>
<span>this means you have to look at the graph and see if a vertical line drawn anywhere hits the graph more than once. </span>
<span>if it hits it more than once, it is NOT a function.
</span>
An example is a polynomial function to the infinite degree. That is
f(x) = lim (n --> infinity) [ x^n]
but only 1 y intercept (vertical line test remember)
20/50=2/5=0.4=40%
So yeah, 2/5 or 0.40 or 40%
They're all equal.
Hope this helps.
