Answer: This is not a function

Why not?

The input x = 2 leads to more than one output. In this case, it leads to y = 20 and y = 40 simultaneously. This is the reason why we don't have a function. A function is only possible if each input x leads to exactly one y output.

Put another way: we cannot have x repeating any values if we want a function.

Side note: We could have y repeat however. So it's possible to have a function with the two points (1,5) and (3,5).

Determine between which consecutive integers the real zeros of y(x) = x2 - 4x – 2 are located.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The zeros are x1=4.45 and x2=-0.45.

x1 is between 4 and 5.

x2 is between -1 and 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$y(x) = x2 - 4x-2$

As this is a quadratic function, we can calculate the zeros of the function with the quadratic equation:

$x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-4)\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\cdot 1\cdot(-2)}}{2\cdot 1}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{16+8}}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{24}}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{4\pm4.9}{2}=2\pm2.45\\\\\\x_1=2+2.45=4.45\\\\x_2=2-2.45=-0.45$

The zeros are x1=4.45 and x2=-0.45.

x1 is between 4 and 5.

x2 is between -1 and 0.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. A sphere with height h a

Elodia [21]

We have been given that a sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. We are asked to find the volume of the sphere.

We know that height of sphere is equal to its radius. This means that $r=h$ .

$\text{Volume of sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$

Using $r=h$ , we will get:

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^2\cdot r$

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^3$

Upon comparing volume of sphere and volume of cylinder, we can see that volume of sphere is $\frac{4}{3}$ times volume of cylinder.

$\pi r^3=21$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 21$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=4\cdot 7$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=28$

Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 28 cubic meters.

How do you determine if two numbers or expressions are equal

Alja [10]

You can determine if two numbers are equal if they have the same value. (4 are 4 are equal) (4 and 5 are not equal). You can determine if two expressions are equal by solving them. If the answers are of an equal value, they are equal. (4+5 and 6+3 are equal because they both work out to be 9) (4+5 and 5+5 are not equal because they work out to be 9 and 10.)
