The largest possible value of b is 10, since for some x = x₀ it could be the case that f(x₀) = -5 and g(x₀) = -2; then f(x₀) g(x₀) = -5 × -2 = 10.
Answer:
Please check the explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
- As we know that the values in the table represent a function only if there there is only 1 input for every output.
Given the table 1
x y
-12 2
-10 10
0 -2
5 -6
8 -11
15 -15
From the table, it is clear that for each input there exists a unique output.
i.e.
According to the given table,
y = 2 at x=-12
y = 10 at x=-1
0
y = -1 at x=0
y = -11 at x=8
y = -15 at x=15
From the table, it is clear that for each input x, it has a unique output y.
Hence, table 1 is a function.
Given the table 2
x y
9 -18
-20 0
-6 1
-17 16
9 17
11 19
This table does not produce a function, because the input x=9 produces two outputs.
i.e.
at x = 9, the y = -18
at x = 9, the y = 17
Therefore, the table 2 does not represent a function.
X- smaller number
y- larger number
5x=6+y
19/20
19/20 = 0.95
0.9 < 0.95
