Combine like terms.
Since 7x and 6x both have a variable of x, you can combine them.
After that, you are left with:
You also have two numbers without variables; 11 and 3. You can also combine those.
So, your final answer would be:
Answers:
Functions
- y = -x+11
- y = 2x^2-6x+4
- y = -7
Not functions
- x = 3
- x^2+y^2 = 81
- y^2 = -5x-12
=======================================================
Explanation:
A function is possible if and only if any given x input leads to exactly one y output.
For something like x^2+y^2 = 81, we can see that x = 0 leads to either y = 9 or y = -9. So this would <u>not</u> be a function. We would need x to pair with only y value to have it be a function.
We have the same thing going on with y^2 = -5x-12 as well.
For anything of the form x = k, where k is any real number, this is also not a function. We have one single input only and it leads to infinitely many outputs. So in a sense, this is even worse compared to the other examples.
-----------------
In summary, we have these three non-functions:
- x = 3
- x^2+y^2 = 81
- y^2 = -5x-12
Everything else is a function. You can use the vertical line test as a visual way to check.
