Answer:
we conclude that the function is one-to-one.
Step-by-step explanation:
A function will a one-to-one function if it
- passes the vertical line test to make sure it is indeed a function, and
- also a horizontal line test to make sure it is it one-to-one.
In other words,
The function will be one-to-one if it passes the vertical line test, and also if the horizontal line only cuts the graph of the function in one place.
The reason is that there must be only one x-value for each y-value.
Given the function
Have a look at the attached graph.
- The red portion represents the graph of the function
.
- The green portion represents the graph of x=2 which is basically a vertical line test. Vertical line indicates that it cuts the cuts the graph of the function in one place. So it is clear that
- The blue line represents the graph of y=9, which is basically a horizontal line test. Horizontal line indicates that it cuts the cuts the graph of the function in one place. So it is clear that
Therefore, we conclude that the function is one-to-one.
<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
- Domain: x > 4
- Range: y > 0
========================================================
Explanation:
We want to avoid having a negative number under the square root. Solving leads to
So it appears the domain could involve x = 4 itself; however, if we tried that x value, then we'd get a division by zero error.
So in reality, the domain is x > 4.
-------------
The range of y = sqrt(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So y > 0 is the range for this equation. Shifting left and right does not affect the range, so the range of y = sqrt(x-4) is also y > 0.
We are dividing a positive number (3) over some positive number in the denominator. Overall, the expression is positive because positive/positive = positive.
Therefore, the range of the given equation is y > 0
-------------
The graph is shown below. We have a vertical asymptote at x = 4 and a horizontal asymptote at y = 0. The green curve is fenced in the upper right corner (northeast corner).
