Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/3 = 4/3
18 ÷ 4/3
= 13
A function is a rule that assigns exactly one output to a given input. The input is taken from a set called the domain, and the corresponding output belongs to a set called the range.
1. In this exercise, we're calling the pool of patients 1-8 the domain, and the pool of nurses A-D the range. The given table describes a function because any patient is assigned to only one nurse.
2. This wouldn't be a function if at least one patient was assigned to more than one nurse. If this were to happen in practice, the patient could be, say, given the same dose of some medicine twice if the nurses aren't careful.
3. Making the nurse pool the domain and the patient pool the range would give a relation that is not a function, since more than one patient is assigned to one nurse.
Answer:
- B) One solution
- The solution is (2, -2)
- The graph is below.
=========================================================
Explanation:
I used GeoGebra to graph the two lines. Desmos is another free tool you can use. There are other graphing calculators out there to choose from as well.
Once you have the two lines graphed, notice that they cross at (2, -2) which is where the solution is located. This point is on both lines, so it satisfies both equations simultaneously. There's only one such intersection point, so there's only one solution.

To graph these equations by hand, plug in various x values to find corresponding y values. For instance, if you plugged in x = 0 into the first equation, then,
y = (-3/2)x+1
y = (-3/2)*0+1
y = 1
The point (0,1) is on the first line. The point (2,-2) is also on this line. Draw a straight line through the two points to finish that equation. The other equation is handled in a similar fashion.
