Good idea to review quadratic functions and the quadratic formula.

Quadratics have three coefficients: ax² + bx + c, and the "discriminant" is defined as b²-4ac. Please review these rules:

1) if the discriminant is +, the quadratic equation has two real, unequal roots.

2) if the disc. is 0, the equation has two real, equal root.

3) If the disc. is - , the equation has two complex roots.

Here a = 1, b = -3 and c = 4. Therefore the discriminant is (-3)²-4(1)(4), or

-7. Rule 3) applies: the equation has two complex roots, but no real ones. Thus we know that the graph does not cross the x-axis.

Graphing the given quadratic, x² - 3x + 4, using a dashed "line," is helpful. As you can see in the illustration of this graph, the graph neither touches nor crosses the x-axis. Thus, y = x² - 3x + 4 is greater than 0 for all x. The answer: All real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

$6.7 - {3}^{2} .9 + {4}^{3} \\ \\ = 42 - 9.9 + 64 \\ \\ = 42 - 81 + 64 \\ \\ = 106 - 81 \\ \\ = 25$

Given the graph below, which of the following statements is true?

Nesterboy [21]

To be a function, it has to pass the vertical line test, which means a vertical line drawn anywhere in the graph should cut the graph only once, not more.

To be a one-to-one function, it has to pass the vertical line test as well as the horizontal line test, which means that a horizontal line drawn anywhere in the graph should cut the graph only once, not more.

Of course, it passes the vertical line test, so its a function.

Does it pass the horizontal line test? NO! As shown in the attached picture, the blue line (horizontal line) cuts the graph at 3 places. We therefore eliminate choices A and B. We can eliminate choice C because nowhere is it required a function to pass through the origin for it to be one-to-one. Hence, the answer is D (blue line shows this).

ANSWER: D
