There are two jars of sweets.

Mathematics

qwelly [4]2 years ago

First, we model two equations that satisfy the problem. Let x be the number of sweets in the first jar, and y the number of sweets in the second jar.
First equation:
(x-20)/1 = (y+20)/2 
or
(x-20)/(y+20) = 1/2

Second equation:
[(x-20)+60]/3 = [(y+20)-60]/1
or 
(x+40) = 3(y-40)

Expressing the first equation in terms of y, we have:
y = 2x - 60

Plugging it in to the second equation:
(x+40) = 3[(2x-60) - 40]
5x = 340
x = 68

y = 2(68)-60 = 76

The first jar originally had 68 sweets and the second jar originally had 76 sweets.

Now 4 x 4 = 16 
3 x 4 = 12
5 x 4 = 20

10. Use the vertical line test to determine if the graph below
klasskru [66]

The graph is a function. When drawing a vertical line, there will be two circumstances:

  1. The line intersects only one point on a graph.
  2. The line intersects more than one point on a graph ( POI > 1 )

For the first circumstance, the graph that has only one intersect with a line - it is a function. For the second circumstance, the graph cannot be a function as it gives more than one y-value for a single x-value.

The conclusion is that if a line only has one intersect on a graph then it is a function. Otherwise, not a function but a relation instead. All functions are relations, but not all relations can be functions.

Answer

  • The graph passes the vertical line test and is a function.
