Question

How do you solve for y in the equation: ="\frac{x}{y} =y-6" alt="\frac{x}{y} =y-6" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> and is it a function?

Answer 1

No it isn't.

Explanation:

x/y * y = (y-6) * y

x = y^2 - 6y

A function gives just one y for every x

In this case there will always be 2 y's for every x

Example:

y can be

y = 6

or

y =−6

(0,-6) & (0,6)
