This is a relation but not a function.
Functions must have that there is a unique y for a given x, which clearly doesn't work here because all lines of a given x have 2 y-values. However, it is a relation because there is a given set of points which are defined to be within the set of the ellipse (if it's defined which members of two sets, the range and domain, go together, then you have a relation)
Surface area of a square pyramid is the area of the base + 4 times the area of one of the slanted sides.
Area of base = side length * side length
Area of side = (1/2) * side length * slant height
Don't forget that you have to multiply the area of the side by 4!
Step 1: 12 x 12 = 144
Step 2: 12 x 20 = 240 divided by 2 = 120
Step 3: 144 + 120 x 4
Last month, my house used 1,740 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy,
and the part of my bill that charged for the electricity was $226.20 .
For the same month, my brother in Boston used 1,175 kilowatt-hours
of energy, and the energy part of HIS bill was $199.75 .
Which of us gets the better deal on his electrical energy ?
I am not sure but i think you were to say this:(1st quality)x=( )(2nd quality)
