Answer:

Graph C is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we should know that a set of ordered pairs represent a function when their x values do not have two values of y.

Means if we have a set of pairs like (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4) then x values of the pairs are 1, 1, 2 and y values are 2, 3, 4.

Here for x = 1 we are getting two values of y = 2, 3 then these pairs do not define a function.

Now we analyze the graphs.

For graph A.

At x = 2 we are getting two values of y = -1, -3. Therefore graph is not for a function.

For graph B.

At x = 4 we are getting y = 4, -3. Therefore graph is not of a function.

For graph C.

For every value of x we are getting different value of y. Therefore this graph represents a function.

For Graph D.

For x = -2 we get y = 1, -1 therefore this graph doesn't represents a function.

A boat traveled in a river upstream for a distance of 30 miles at a constant rate, r, in miles per hour, and then made the retur

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = boat's rate

c = current's rate

1. A boat traveled in a river upstream for a distance of 30 miles. Travelling upstream, the current obstructs the movement, so the actual boat's rate is r - c mph.

If the boat took 4 hours to travel upstream, then

$\dfrac{30}{r-c}=4\\ \\4(r-c)=30\\ \\4r-4c=30$

2. A boat traveled in a river downstream for a distance of 30 miles. Travelling downstream, the current helps the movement, so the actual boat's rate is r + c mph.

If the boat took 3 hours to travel downstream, then

$\dfrac{30}{r+c}=3\\ \\30=3(r+c)\\ \\3r+3c=30$

So, we get the system

4r-4c=30

3r+3c=30

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 board members and 3 committee members. You can solve this using combinations:

4C3 = 4!/(3!(4-3)!) = 4!/(3!1!) = 4

You can also solve this by recognizing that since there is one fewer committee spot than there are board members, there will be one possible committee excluding each of the 4 board members.
