Non linear and increasing
Answer: makes it a function if it is straight or if no points touch and if it has a constant rate of change
Step-by-step explanation:
Interval notation is used to write a set of real numbers from one value to another value.
On the left, you start with left parenthesis or left bracket.
Then you follow by two numbers separated by a comma.
You then finish with a right parenthesis or right bracket.
To include a number, use a square bracket.
To exclude a number use parenthesis.
To write the set of numbers, you need to list the smallest number in the set followed by the largest number in the set. An interval is always stated with two numbers, from the smallest in the set to the largest in the set. The numbers are always separated by a comma.
Examples:
1) All numbers from 6 to 10, including 6 and 10.
Algebra: 6 <= x <= 10
Interval: [6, 10]
Notice brackets since both 6 and 10 are included in this interval.
2) All number from 5 to 20, including 5 but not including 20.
Algebra 5 <= x < 20
Interval: [5, 20)
Bracket with 5 means include 5. Parenthesis with 20 means 20 is not included.
3) All numbers greater than or equal to 7.
Algebra: x >= 7
Interval: [7, ∞)
The 7 has a bracket because it is included. Infinity always has parenthesis.
With the infinity symbol, always use parenthesis, not square bracket.
4) All numbers less than -5.
Algebra: x < - 5
Interval: (-∞, 5)
Now for your problems.
10.
This is a line. Both the domain and range all all real numbers.
That means the interval is from negative infinity to positive infinity.
(-∞, ∞)
Both the domain and range are that same interval, all real numbers, from negative infinity to positive infinity.
13.
The domain is all real numbers as you can see the x-coordinates extend left forever and right forever. The domain is the same interval as the domain and range of problem 10.
The range is zero and all positive numbers.
You can think of it a all values of y such that y is greater than or equal to zero. Notice that zero is included in the interval.
[0, ∞)
Since zero is included, we use a left bracket, not left parenthesis.
With infinity, we alyways use parentheses, not brackets.
<span>There is a formula for a loan : A = P * r * ( r + 1 ) ^n / (( r + 1 ) ^n - 1 ), where P is the loan and A is the monthly payment. So P = $4,250 and r = 0.1325 : 12 = 0.011. ( 13.25 % = 0.1325 and we divide it by 12, because the interest is compounded monthly ). A = 4,250 * 0.011 * 1.011^(24) / ( 1.011^(24) - 1 ) = 4,250 * 0.11 * 1.3 / 0.3 = 4,250 * 0.0477; A = $202.55. Finally we have to multiply this sum by 24 : the total finance charge: $202.55 * 24 = $ 4,861.20. Answer: D ) $4,861.20 </span>
