The graph of the relation between x and y is as shown in attached figure
By applying the vertical line test we find that the relation is not a function because there are two points which are (1,-1) , (1,3) have the same value of x with different values of y which contradicts with with the rule of function.
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
Answer:
12, 18, 24, 30
Step-by-step explanation:
List the numbers between 11 and 34 that can be evenly divided by 3:
12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33
Then eliminate the odd numbers, obtaining:
12, 18, 24, 30
These are the four busses that Camille could ride to work.
