Answer:

If the vertical line intersects the graph in at most one point, then the given graph represents a function. If the vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point, then the given graph does not represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a graph to be a function, there must not be more than one element in the range for each element of the domain.

If x represents the doman, and y represents the range (as usual, in graphing) then each value on the the x-axis should not have more than one point in the graph on it, directly above it, or directly below it. Like if you had a point (5, 7) and also had point (5, -7), that is not a function. The x, 5, has more than one y-value paired with it.

Visually, any vertical line through the graph should <u>not </u>intersect the graph at more than one point. If it does, then the graph is not a function.

This is called the vertical line test.

If s represents speed write an inequality to represent how fast a person can legally dive a vehicle in a school zone with a spee

ELEN [110]

The phrase “inequality” tells you that you will be using inequality signs, greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to. Those signs look like this (not ordered) ≤ ≥ < >
So now we have to consider the speed limit 25mph, and remember s is used to represent how fast you are going. We can start be setting up 25_s and now we must determine what sign to use. Does it make sense to go faster than the speed limit? No it doesn’t, it’s a limit. what about equal to, does it make sense to go at the speed limit? Yes you can travel 25mph in a 25mph zone. So your speed will be less than or equal to 25, because you know you can’t go faster than that but you can travel at that number. So it looks like:
25 ≥ s.
If you need help understanding why I used that particular inequality sign message me for help.

Find the midpoint of a line segment with given endpoints (4,-5) and (-6,3)

Mashcka [7]

The equation for the midpoint of a line segment is $( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ . Thus, the midpoint of this segment is $(\frac{4 + (-6)}{2}, \frac{-5 + 3}{2}) = \boxed{(-1, -1)}$ .

You want to put $2,500 in a simple interest account. It has a 4% annual interest rate. How long will it take you to earn $200 in

Nadya [2.5K]

The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 200
P principle 2500
R interest rate 0.04
T time ?
We need to solve for t
T=I÷pr
T=200÷(2,500×0.04)
T=2years

Hope it helps
