The vertical line test is simply using a vertical line across the whole graph to see if it touches two points at the same time. This is used because a function can only create ONE output for every input. For example, you can't plug 2 into the function x^{2} and get two different answers, you'll only get one, 4. However, you can also plug in -2 to get 4. This is because two different inputs can have the same output, but one input CANNOT have two outputs. 
Therefore, if it fails the vertical line test, then it's not a function

If (x+3)divided by 3 = 9 what is x
defon

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

madam [21]

Answer:

4.15^0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Leaning Tower of Pisa is shifted, P = 13.5 ft

Height of Leaning Tower of Pisa, B = 186 ft

Now, degree of tilt of the tower from vertical

\tan \theta = \dfrac{P}{B}

\tan \theta = \dfrac{13.5}{186}

\tan \theta = 0.0725

\theta = 4.15^\circ

Hence, angle of tilt is equal to 4.15^0.
