Plug into your calculator and Use linear regression

Yeah. You basically have to look at every x value and see if for every x value, is there ONLY one y-value. So in your example, it is a function because every x value has only one y value. Let’s say you had (1,3) and (1,5). That would not be a function because the x value of 1 has TWO y values (3 and 5), therefore it is not a function.

That’s how you can easily spot if something is a function by just looking at a handful of ordered pairs. I hope this makes sense.

the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5. what is the degree measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?

Alik [6]

A triangle interior angles add up to 180

so we have 3:4:5
the ratio of the angles
3+4+5=12
therefor 180=12 units
divide by 12
15=1 unit
subsitute
find the smallest unit
3
3 times 15=45
answer is 45 degrees

A triangle has an area of 240 square Inches. The height of the triangle is 15 inches. What is the length of the base of the tria

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$32\:\mathrm{in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot h$ .

Substituting given values, we have:

$240=\frac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot 15,\\480=15b,\\b=\frac{480}{15}=\boxed{32\:\mathrm{in}}$

is 3x+4y=12 linear or nonlinear......is y=1/2x+6 linear or nonlinear......is y=4x to the power of 2 linear or nonlinear......is

Ilya [14]

3x+4y=12 is Linear.

y-1/2x+6 is Linear.

y=4x^2 is nonlinear.

y+2=|4| is linear.

y+6=4x is linear.

In order to tell whether an equation is linear or not, you have to first see if there is any variable^2 or more than ^1. If that is the case, it isn't linear. For example the equation x^2=4 or y^5=100 isn't linear. It also isn't linear if the equation is divided by X or Y.For example the equation 1/x=1 isn't linear or 1/y^2=5 isn't linear.

A question is also linear if you can write it in the form y=mx+b , 'm' meaning the slope of the equation and 'b' meaning the y-intercept of the equation.
