Answer:

Only C is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

To test whether a graph is a function you use the vertical line test.

If you can place a vertical line anywhere on the plane (in the domain of the "function" to be tested) and it intersects the curve at more than one point, the curve is not a function.

We see with A, wherever we put the vertical line it intersects twice.

With B, it intersects infinitely many times.

C is a function because wherever we put the vertical line, it only intersects once.

D is a function because it intersects twice providing we do not put it on the "tip" of the parabola.

The mathematical reasoning behind this is that a function must be well-defined, that is it must send every x-value to one specific y-value. There can be no confusion about where the function's input is going. If you look at graph B and I ask you what is f(3)? Is it 1? 2? 3? ... Who knows, it's not well-defined and so it's not a function. However if I ask you about C, whichever input value for x I give you, you can tell me to which y-value it gets mapped/sent to.

Find (4/5+3/6-5/12) ÷ 2/3

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

1/2 + 2/3 + 5/4 = 29/ 12 = 2 5/ 12 ≅ 2.4166667

Step-by-step explanation:

Add: 1/ 2 + 2/ 3 = 1 · 3/ 2 · 3 + 2 · 2/ 3 · 2 = 3/ 6 + 4/ 6 = 3 + 4/ 6 = 7/ 6

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(2, 3) = 6. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 2 × 3 = 6. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - one half plus two thirds = seven sixths.

Add: the result of step No. 1 + 5/ 4 = 7/ 6 + 5/ 4 = 7 · 2/ 6 · 2 + 5 · 3/ 4 · 3 = 14/ 12 + 15/ 12 = 14 + 15/ 12 = 29/ 12

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(6, 4) = 12. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 6 × 4 = 24. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - seven sixths plus five quarters = twenty-nine twelfths.

What is the present age of Alex if he is one- fourth the age of a his father and if the age of the father is doubled, it is 20 y

AURORKA [14]

take father's age as x

if it is doubled i.e 2x .we get the answer as 20 less than 100 which means 100-20=80

accordingly the equation will be 2x=80

x=40

given that ,
