The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.
The equation of the path is: 
The given parameters are:
--- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)


An absolute function is represented as:

4¹ = 4
4² = 16
4³ = 64
4⁴ = 256
(4⁵ = 1,024 too big)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomials are expressions containing the sum (or difference) of two terms.
A. is not the answer because pq and qp are <u>products</u>.
C. is not the answer because 3x is not a sum/difference.
D. is not the answer because it is one binomial, not two muliplied together.
Answer:
A function is a relation that maps inputs from a set called the domain, into outputs from a set called the range.
Such that each input can be mapped into only one output.
So for example, if we have a relation that maps the input 2 into two different values:
f(2) = 4
f(2) = 8
Then this is not a function.
In the case of the problem, we have a student as the input, and the hair color as the output.
So we will have something like:
f(student) = blond
And if this student decides to change his/her hair color to red?
Then the function becomes:
f(student) = red
So for the same input, we had two different outputs, which means that this is not a function.
We also could have the case where a given student has two colors (Californian for example)
Where again, we would see two different outputs for one single input.
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be "x"
We translate the word equation to algebraic equation.
First,
subtract 6 from me, so we have:
x - 6
Now,
Multiply by 2, so we have:
2(x-6)
Now,
Subtract 40, then divide by 4:

Now, you get "8", so equate this to 8, we get:

We now solve using algebra:

The number is 42
