Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

What we can do is try it out.

20*0.6=12

since 0.6 is left

now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4

12*1.4= 16.8

See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.

Use the vertical line test to determine whether the graph shown to the right is the graph of a function
Andreas93 [3]

That's not a function.

Since a vertical line hits the graph more than once, if fails the test. (See graph below)

If it is a function, any vertical line you draw can only hit the graph once.
