X < 8
what this question is saying is that a number, x, can be anything, as long as it is smaller than 8.
x < 8 represents that this sentence. X could be 7, it could be -1, it could be anything smaller than 8, but it could not be 8 or anything greater than 8.
You can use the vertical line test to determine if the graph is a function.
A function must: for every x value have only one y value.
Vertical line test: if you draw a bunch of vertical lines each line only touches the graph once.
So a circle would not be a function, or a horizontally facing parabola, etc... Remember, if you draw a vertical line "|" and it touches the graph more than once at any point then it is not a function.
Now take a look at the graph in the question.
In this graph if we do the vertical line test there are no place where a vertical line touches the graph twice so this graph is indeed a function.
This means your answer is C. Yes
If 4y-2=26 then 4y=26+2
4y=28 divide both side by 4
y=28/4=7 opt A
