Answer: <span>A. A function is a special type of relation for which there is a rule that pairs each input with exactly one output.
Option B is incorrect because it does not include that there cannot be two x-values with the same y-value. Option C is incorrect because it is a relation, not just a set of ordered pairs. Option D is incorrect because there <em>is</em> a particular pattern in a function.
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
Linear function with rate of change/growth = 2.5, which agrees with the fourth statement listed in the answers options.
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that both columns of reported x and y values are increasing.
Then examine how the given x-values increase:
-2, 2, 6, 10, 14 (in steps of 4 units)
and how their corresponding y-values increase:
-2, 8, 18, 28, 38 (in steps of 10 units)
therefore, if we do the rate of change for any pair 
and 
, we get the following constant rate of change:
Given that this relationship is valid for any pair of (x,y) values. we conclude that the rate of increase is constant, and therefore we are in the presence of a linear function, whose rate of change is 2.5
By looking at the graph, we can visually determine that the value of y when point x = -2 is <u>-4.</u>
Answer:
45, 36
Step-by-step explanation:
let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.
x-y=9
(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n
n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n
here u get:
(1/x+1/y)*20=1
you sub x=9+y into the above equation
1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20
((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)
180+40y=9y+y2
y2-31y-180=0
then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5
-5 is rejected because it is negative
x=36+9=45
therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins
