To check whether the equation represents a function, you can use vertical line test. If all vertical lines intersect the graph of the function in one point, then the equation represents the function.

When you intersect the graph of the function $y=-\dfrac{3}{5}x+2$ with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see blue graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.

B. Consider the equation

$y=x-x^2$

This equation represents the function, because for each input value x, there is exactly one output value y.

When you intersect the graph of the function $y=x-x^2$ with vertical lines, there will be only one point of intersection (see green graph in attached diagram). So this equation represents the function.

Consider the logarithms base 5. For each logarithmic expression below, either calculate the value of the expression or explain w

Tom [10]

Answer:

log₅(3125) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₅(3125)

Now,

using the property of log function that

logₐ(b) = $\frac{\log(b)}{\log(a)}$

thus,

Therefore, applying the above property, we get

⇒ $\frac{\log(3125)}{\log(5)}$ (here log = log base 10)

now,

3125 = 5⁵

thus,

⇒ $\frac{\log(5^5)}{\log(5)}$

Now,

we know from the properties of log function that

log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)

therefore applying the above property we get

⇒ $\frac{5\log(5)}{\log(5)}$

⇒ 5

Hence,

log₅(3125) = 5

The number of mosquitoes at the beach has increased by 50% every year since 2012. In 2012, there were 2,500 mosquitoes. How many

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2012 = 2500

2500 x .50 = 1250

2500 + 1250

2013 = 3750

3750 x .50 =

3750 + 1875

2014 = 5625

5625 x .50 = 2812.5

5625 + 2812.5

2015= 8437.5

8437.5 x .50 = 4218.75

8437.5 + 4218.75

2016= 12656.25

12656.25 x .50 = 6328.125

12656.25 + 6328.125

2017= 18984.375

18984.375 x .50 = 9492.1875

18984.375 + 9492.1875

2018= 28,476.5625‬
