Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a table which gives the order pair of x and y for a function f(x)

We have to find the local minimum of the function f(x)

We have from the table the values of different f(x)

Of all we find the least value is -15 and for this x value is -2 or +2

Hence f(x) has minimum at two points

(-2,-15) and (2,-15)

Out of 4 options given we find that (2,-15) appears in IV option

Hence option D is right answer

A local minimum is a point with the lowest y (or f(x)) value. That being said, the answer with the lowest y value is D.

This set of ordered pairs is a function (22, 4), (21, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1), and (2, 4).

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You know these ordered pairs are considered a function, because the x intercepts do not repeat themselves. In other words, each input numbers are different. If these ordered pairs were not a function, the x intercept would be repeating. For example, 22 is already a x intercept, (22,4), if 22 was put in as another x intercept like,(22,1) these ordered pairs would not be a function.

A box of pencils is 5 1/4 inches wide. Seven pencils, laid side by side, take up 2 5/8 inches of the width. How many inches of t

Andre45 [30]

Answer: Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Width of pencil box = $5\dfrac14\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{4}\text{ inches}$

Width of seven pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}=\dfrac{16+5}{8}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = Width of pencil box - Width of seven pencils

$\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right. \dfrac{21}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21\times2-21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}=2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$
