Answer:
Only C is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
To test whether a graph is a function you use the vertical line test.
If you can place a vertical line anywhere on the plane (in the domain of the "function" to be tested) and it intersects the curve at more than one point, the curve is not a function.
We see with A, wherever we put the vertical line it intersects twice.
With B, it intersects infinitely many times.
C is a function because wherever we put the vertical line, it only intersects once.
D is a function because it intersects twice providing we do not put it on the "tip" of the parabola.
The mathematical reasoning behind this is that a function must be well-defined, that is it must send every x-value to one specific y-value. There can be no confusion about where the function's input is going. If you look at graph B and I ask you what is f(3)? Is it 1? 2? 3? ... Who knows, it's not well-defined and so it's not a function. However if I ask you about C, whichever input value for x I give you, you can tell me to which y-value it gets mapped/sent to.
Answer:
Explanation:
Work backward:
1. 2x + 23 = 30
Start:
Multiply the equation by 2:
Subtract 30 from both sides
- 2x - 30 = 7 - 30
- 2x - 30 = -23
Add 23 and 30 to both sides:
2. 3x + 19.5 = 30
Start:
Add 6.5 to both sides:
Multiply by 3:
Distributive property:
3. (10x - 20)/ 5 = 3
Start:
Multiply by 10:
Subtract 20:
Divide by 5:
Answer:
I believe the answer is the system has one solution. Both lines have the same y-intercept. And the solution is the intersection of the 2 lines.
