- Continuous
==============================================
Explanations:
- This is discrete because we can't have half a basketball, or any non-whole decimal value to represent the number of basketballs. We can only consider positive whole numbers {1,2,3,4,...}. A discrete set like this has gaps between items. In other words, the midpoint of 2 and 3 (the value 2.5) isn't a valid number of basketballs.
- This is continuous because time values are continuous. We can take any two different markers in time, and find a midpoint between them. For example, the midpoint of 5 minutes and 17 minutes is 11 minutes since (5+17)/2 = 22/2 = 11. Continuous sets like this do not have any gaps between items. We can consider this to be densely packed.
- This is the same as problem 1, so we have another discrete function. You either score a bullseye or you don't. We can't score half a bullseye. The only possible values are {1,2,3,4,...}
- This is similar to problem 2. This function is continuous. Pick any two different positive real numbers to represent the amount of gallons of water. You will always be able to find a midpoint between those values (eg: we can have half a gallon) and such a measurement makes sense.
So in short, always try to ask the question: Can I pick two different values, compute the midpoint, and have that midpoint make sense? If so, then you're dealing with a continuous variable. Otherwise, the data is discrete.

- (a) It is <u>never</u> one-to-one
- (b) It is <u>never</u> onto
=========================================================
Explanation:
The graph of any constant function is a horizontal flat line. The output is the same regardless of whatever input you select. Recall that a one-to-one function must pass the horizontal line test. Horizontal lines themselves fail this test. So this is sufficient to show we don't have a one-to-one function here.
Put another way: Let f(x) be a constant function. Let's say its output is 5. So f(x) = 5 no matter what you pick for x. We can then show that f(a) = f(b) = 5 where a,b are different values. This criteria is enough to show that f(x) is not one-to-one. A one-to-one function must have f(a) = f(b) lead directly to a = b. We cannot have a,b as different values.
----------------------------
The term "onto" in math, specifically when it concerns functions, refers to the idea of the entire range being accessible. If the range is the set of all real numbers, then we consider the function be onto. There's a bit more nuance, but this is the general idea.
With constant functions, we can only reach one output value (in that example above, it was the output 5). We fall very short of the goal of reaching all real numbers in the range. Therefore, this constant function and any constant function can never be onto.
Answer:
31
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 3 for x in the expression:
4(3²) - 5
Note that there are no parenthesis (other than the one I added, to make it easier for you. Follow the order of operations, PEMDAS. PEMDAS = Parenthesis, Exponents (& Roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction, and the left -> right rule.
First, solve the exponent:
4(3²) - 5 = 4(3 * 3) - 5 = 4(9) - 5
Next, solve the multiplication:
4(9) - 5 = 36 - 5
Finally, subtract:
36 - 5 = 31
31 is your answer.
