Answer:
The solutions will contain an infinite amount of negative numbers.
Answer:
x cannot be -4,-3, or 13
x can be anything else
Step-by-step explanation:
There are infinitely many values x can take where the relation above will be a function.
For it to be a function, you just need to make sure each x is only assigned one y value.
So x couldn't be -4 because it would by assigned to y=2 and y=0.
x couldn't be -3 because it would be assigned to y=1 and y=0.
x couldn't be 13 because it would be assigned to y=5 and y=0.
So as long as x is not chosen to be -4,-3, or 13 your relation here is a function.
To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:
3/900 = x/2100
In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.
The first step is to cross multiply like this:
3 * 2100 = 900 * x
Now you can simply the equation.
6300 = 900x
Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.
7 = x
So, your answer is 7 pounds.
