Because for each x-value in the domain of this relationship, except for 0, there is more than one y-value, this is NOT a function.

Hello!

This relation is not a function. Each input (domain or x value) must have only one output (range or y value). If you look at some of the x values, there are two points where the relation will intersect the x value.

For example, on this question (points aren't exact, this is just from perspective) there are points (1,1) and (1,-1). As you can see, this one has two outputs, so it is not a function.

A good way to test to see if a relation is a function is the "vertical line test". You draw (or imagine just to be a quick) a vertical line down towards the graphed relation. This vertical line can only intersect with the graphed relation ONCE. If it intersects with two parts of the relation, it is not a function.

In this scenario, if you drew a vertical line down at x=5, it would intersect with the relation at about 2 and negative 2. Since it intersected twice with the graphed relation, it is not a function.

I hope this helps!

Given that set A has 48 elements and set B has 21 elements, determine each of the following. (a) The maximum possible number of

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: The required answers are

(a) 69, (b) 21, (c) 21 and (d) 0.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that the set A has 48 elements and the set B has 21 elements.

(a) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is they do not have any common element. Then, A ∩ B = { } ⇒ n(A ∩ B) = 0.

From set theory, we have

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-0=69.$

So, the maximum possible number of elements in A ∪ B is 69.

(b) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∪ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then, n(A ∩ B) = 21.

From set theory, we have

$n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)=48+21-21=48.$

So, the minimum possible number of elements in A ∪ B is 21.

(c) To determine the maximum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the set B is a subset of set A, that is all the elements of set B are present in set A. Then, n(A ∩ B) = 21.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in A ∩ B is 21.

(d) To determine the minimum possible number of elements in A ∩ B.

If the sets A and B are disjoint, that is there is no common element in the sets A and B . Then, n(A ∩ B) = 0.

So, the maximum possible number of elements in A ∩ B is 0.

Thus, the required answers are

(a) 69, (b) 21, (c) 21 and (d) 0.

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2,1), B(-2,-3), and C(1,-2). What is the area of the triangle? a 18 square units b 9 square unit

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Option C. 6 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.

Let

a,b,c be the lengths of the sides of a triangle.

The area is given by:

$A=\sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)}$

where

p is half the perimeter

p= $\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

we have

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-2,1), B(-2,-3), and C(1,-2)

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

step 1

Find the distance AB

$d=\sqrt{(-3-1)^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-4)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$dAB=4\ units$

step 2

Find the distance BC

$d=\sqrt{(-2+3)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$dBC=\sqrt{10}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance AC

$d=\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(1+2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$dBC=\sqrt{18}\ units$

step 4

$a=AB=4\ units$

$b=BC=\sqrt{10}\ units$

$c=AC=\sqrt{18}\ units$

Find the half perimeter p

p= $\frac{4+\sqrt{10}+\sqrt{18}}{2}=5.70\ units$

Find the area

$A=\sqrt{5.7(5.7-4)(5.7-3.16)(5.7-4.24)}$

$A=\sqrt{5.7(1.7)(2.54)(1.46)}$

$A=\sqrt{35.93}$

$A=6\ units^{2}$

Solve (get the variable by itself): m / (-4) = -2.95

kenny6666 [7]

M / -4 = -2.95
As you can see, the variable m is currently in a fraction with a denominator of -4. So to get ride of the fraction and find m and its value, you should multiply both sides by the denominator of the fraction, which is in our case -4.
So m / -4 = -2.95
(m/-4) * -4 = -2.95 * -4
m = 11.8

You can recheck your answer (very important):
m / -4 = 11.8 / -4 = -2.95
The answer has been approved.

Hope this Helps! :)

Find the area of a square with a diagonal of 8 cm.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

To find the area of a square with only the diagonal known,

Square the diagonal and divide by 2:

8^2 = 64

64/2 = 32

The area is 32 cm^2
