This question was once asked before so I will put it here.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
Answer:
(1, 4) and (1,3), because they have the same x-value
Step-by-step explanation:
For a relation to be regarded as a function, there should be no two y-values assigned to an x-value. However, two different x-values can have the same y-values.
In the relation given in the equation, the ordered pairs (1,4) and (1,3), prevent the relation from being a function because, two y-values were assigned to the same x-value. x = 1, is having y = 4, and 3 respectively.
Therefore, the relation is not a function anymore if both ordered pairs are included.
<em>The ordered pairs which make the relation not to be a function are: "(1, 4) and (1,3), because they have the same x-value".</em>
The tree grows 6cm per year and we need to find out how long it will take to grow 1 meter. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. So:
6x = 100
x = 16.67
It will take 16.67 years (or one and two-thirds of a year) for the tree to reach 1 meter.
