Answer:

x = y⁴ does not represent y as a function of x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first isolate this equation for the 'y' value :

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides} : y^4=x,\\\mathrm{For\:}x^n=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{,\:n\:is\:even,\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)},\:-\sqrt[n]{f\left(a\right)} : y=\sqrt[4]{x},\:y=-\sqrt[4]{x}$

So as you can tell, we have two functions. However, they can be rewritten as one function, y = ± ⁴√x. As we have two values of x that correspond to one value of y, this relation is not a function.

Solution: x = y⁴ does not represent y as a function of x

Gre4nikov [31]

<span>Let the original number of seats in a row be x;
</span>Let the number rows be y;

( x + 3) * (y - 2 )= 72 and x * y = 72 => 72 + 3 * y - 2 * x = 72 => 3 * y = 2 * x;
=> x is divisible by 3;

1. x = 3 => y = 72 / 3 => y = 24;
2. x = 6 => y = 72 / 6 => y = 12;
3. x = 9 => y = 72 / 9 => y = 8;
4. x = 12 => y = 72 / 12 =. y = 6;
5. x = 24 =. y = 72 / 24 => y = 3;
6. x = 36 => y = 72 / 36 => y = 2;
7. x = 72 => y = 72 / 72 => y = 1;

My analysis tell me that the right answer is 9 seats in a row and 8 rows;
The original number in each row is 9.
