Answer:

  4. Functions: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12

  5. y = -1/2x+5/2, x ≤ -1; 2x +1, x > -1.

      y = 2, x < 0; x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3; 3 x > 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

4. A list of ordered pairs is a function of no x-values are re-used. In (3) and (6), the value x=2 is used more than once.

A graph represents a function if it passes the "vertical line test." A vertical line cannot intersect the graph in 2 or more points. (9) and (10) both fail that test.

If the relation is not listed here as being "not a function," then it is one of the answers to question 4.

5. The first step in writing the equation of a piecewise function is to identify the pieces. These are generally bounded by points of discontinuity--jumps in the function value, or changes in the slope of lines.

The second step is to identify the section of the function that boundary points belong to. Solid dots are part of the function definition; open circles are not.

<u>Left Graph</u>

The left piece ends at x=-1. There is a solid dot attached to the left piece, so its definition will be for the domain x ≤ -1. That line has slope -1/2, since is drops 1 unit for each 2 to the right. If extended, it would intersect the y-axis at y = 2 1/2 = 5/2. So, the piece on the left is y = -1/2x + 5/2 for x ≤ -1.

The right piece starts at x=-1, but does not include that point. It has a rise of 2 for each 1 to the right, so its slope is 2. It crosses the y-axis at y=1, so the piece on the right is y = 2x + 1 for x > -1.

You can use the method of your textbook author to combine theses pieces into one equation. The method shown above is one way to do it.

__

<u>Right Graph</u>

This graph has a discontinuity at x=0 and a change in slope at x=3. It can be described by 3 pieces. The point at x=0 does not belong to the left piece, but goes with the middle piece.

The left piece of the function is the constant 2, so has the equation y = 2 for x < 0.

The middle piece has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 0, so has the equation y = x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3.

The point at x=3 belongs to both the middle piece and the right piece, so can be part of both function definitions, if you like. Generally, it is better form to include any given x-value in only one of the pieces of the function. So the equation for the right piece can be y = 3 for x > 3.

A team of scientists is traveling by boat to study a pod, or group, of dolphins. The equation y = 0.2x can be used to find the d
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

y = 0.2*x

is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.

We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.

Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.

Then we need to solve the equation:

y = 8.4 = 0.2*x

for x

To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:

8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2

42 = x

And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.

What is the surface area of this prism? A. 3240 m2 B. 6480 m2 C. 1656 m2 D. 3312 m2
NeX [460]
Well take the bottom and in this case its 18 and 30 so 18 x 30 = 540 then you do the two 15's times 30 and thats 450 times the  2 is 900 so 540+900+216 = so thats 1656 m 2 :)))))))))))

Point Q’ is the image of Q (3,-4) under a reflection across the x-axis
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Q' (-3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection across the x-axis would mean that only the x value of the point would change. This means that the y value would still be 4. To find the x value, just flip it to a negative. The negative of 3 is -3
