Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Because

(2,6) is in the function, we can plug

6 as y

and

2 as x.

From that we get

6=a(2−1)2+k

6=a+k

Same for the next point:

12=a(3−1)2+k

12=22a+k

12=4a+k

Now we have this system of equations to solve:

a+k=6

4a+k=12

Solving it leads to the conclusion that

a=2,k=4 .

Let h be the function that assigns each student ID number to a grade level.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

It is a function Jonny!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I would say to Jonny:

Jonny! A function is a relation between two sets, in which every element of the first set (domain) is assigned only one element of the second set (codomain).

If you have serveral elements of the first set with the same corresponding element of the second set it is correct to call that relation a function.

However, if you have an element of the first set for which your relation can relate to more than one element of the second set, then Jonny, that is not a function.

In the present case, every student ID number can only be realted to a number of the set {9, 10, 11, 12}, a student cannot have more than one current grade level. Therefore, that relation is in fact a function

Members of a college chemistry department agree to contribute equal amounts of money to make up a scholarship fund of $280. Then

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

7 members

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that the department has n members. If each member contributes with an equal amount x and make a total of $280, we know that:

n*x = 280

Where each one colaborated with:

n*x/n = 280/n

Or what is the same that: (as the n on the left eliminate themselves)

x = 280/n (*)

Now the department hires 3 more members, so we now have n+3 members. And we know that the pass from contributing x to contribute $30 less, it is, x-30 (I omit the $ symbol for simplicity). So, know we have:

x-30 = 280/(n+3)

We can replace x here by the formulation of x we did in the (*) equation:

( 280/n) - 30 = 280/(n+3)

using common denominator:

( 280/n) - 30 n/n = 280/(n+3)

( 280 - 30 n)/n = 280/(n+3)

Cross multiplying the denominators:

( 280 - 30 n)*(n+3) = 280*(n)

280n - 30n^2 + 840 - 90n = 280n

Subtracting 280 n in both sides:

30n^2 + 840 - 90n = 0

Dividing both sides by 30:
