Use algebraic means to show that x^2 + y^2 = 8 is not a function. Explain your process.
1 answer:
Answer:
For a single value of x function has more than one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Function: A relationship between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs, where exactly one output is associated with each input.
It means for an equation to represent a function any single value of x there should be only one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.
Now consider the given equation.
If we put x=0 then we get two value of y i.e and
which satisfy the equation and therefore the equation is not a function.

option B) 3 pounds of beef is needed to make 6 times the recipe.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
<u>step 1 </u>:
Mitch used 14 pounds of beef = 34 liters of beef strogonoff
'x' pounds of beef = 1 liter of beef strogonoff
<u>step 2</u> :
Rate = No. of pounds / No. of liters
(14 pounds / 34 liters) = (x pounds / 1 liter)
x = 14/34
x = 0.412
1 liter of beef strogonoff = 0.412 pounds of beef
<u>step 3</u> :
To make 6 times the recipe = 6 0.412
= 2.5 pounds of beef ( approximately 3 pounds)
