A function can only have one output per input. For an xy function, this means that for every x, there can only be one y. If you do the vertical line test and it crosses a line more then once, then that means that the graph has more than one y value for a single x value, meaning it is not a function.

What is a simplified eCarlotta thinks that 3y + 5y3 is the same as 8y4. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?Xpression
stira [4]

Questions:

(a) What is a simplified expression for (x + y) – (x – y)?

(b) Carlotta thinks that 3y + 5y^3 is the same as 8y^4. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?

Answer:

(x + y) - (x - y) =2y

3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

(x + y) - (x - y)

Required

Simplify

(x + y) - (x - y)

Open brackets

(x + y) - (x - y) = x + y - x + y

Collect Like Terms

(x + y) - (x - y) = x - x+ y  + y

(x + y) - (x - y) = y  + y

(x + y) - (x - y) =2y

Solving (b):

Given

3y + 5y^3 and 8y^4

Required

Which expression shows they are not the same

The expression that shows this is:

3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

Take for instance; y=2

Substitute 2 for y in 3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

3*2 + 5*2^3 \ne 8*2^4

Evaluate all exponents

9 + 5*8 \ne 8*16

9 + 40 \ne 128

49 \ne 128

The above expression supports 3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

Tamika built a large play area in the shape of a rectangle. The length of one side was 8 meters, and the length of the other sid
ryzh [129]

The dimensions of the rectangle given are

length = 14 meters

Width = 8 meters

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by the sum of its sides

The rectangle has to opposite sides of 14 meters and two opposite sides of 8 meters

Hence adding up the 4 sides we get

8+14+8+14 = 44

Hence option B is the right answer

Javier has four cylindrical models. The heights, radii, and diagonals of the vertical cross-sections of the models are shown in
Ronch [10]

The model in which the lateral surface meets the base at right angle is : Model 1.

<h3>What is a lateral surface?</h3>

The lateral surface of an object is all surfaces  of that object excluding its base and top.

Analysis:

To know the exact model, we check for the models in which their dimensions form a Pythagorean triplet otherwise a right-angled triangle.

For Pythagorean triplet, the square of the diagonal must be equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

Model 1

Diagonal = 50cm, radius = 14cm, lateral height = 48cm

(50)^{2} = (14)^{2} + (48)^{2}

2500 = 196 + 2304

2500 = 2500. Forms Pythagorean triplet

Model 2

Diagonal= 37cm, radius = 6cm  lateral height = 35cm

(37)^{2} = (35)^{2}+ (6)^{2}

1369 = 1225 +36

1369 \neq 1261

Model 3

Diagonal = 60cm, radius = 20cm  lateral height = 40cm

(60)^{2} = (20)^{2} + (40)^{2}

3600 = 400 + 1600

3600 \neq 2000

Model 4

Diagonal = 30cm, radius = 24cm, lateral height = 9cm

(30)^{2} = (24)^{2} + (9)^{2}

900 = 576 + 81

900 \neq 657

Therefore the lateral surface model 1 meets the base at right angle

In conclusion,  the lateral surface of model 1 meets the base at right angles as the dimensions form a right-angled triangle.
