Answer: B

Number on the left: x-value
Number on the right: y-value

If there are 2 y-values for one x-value it is NOT considered a function.

For instance in the answer:

(2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4)

You can clearly see that the x-values (2 & 3) repeat more than once; therefore, it is NOT a function.

On the other hand if you have 2 DIFFERENT x-values for the same y-value it IS A FUNCTION.

For ex D: (2,4), (3,4), (5,4), (6,4)

As you can see there are 4 DIFFERENT x-values with same y-value; therefore it is A FUNCTION

To make it easier:

If x-values appear more than once = NOT A FUNCTION

If x-values appear only ONCE = FUNCTION

Remember: y-values are ALLOWED to repeat

I hope this helps. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

(15) ? Is this correct or am I missing something, thanks :)

svetoff [14.1K]

You are correct!

Step 1:Write what you know
Madeline's Height: 6 ftMadeline's Shadow: 108 in
Friend's Height: X (we use X as a variable because his height is unknown)Friend's Shadow: 108 in - 1.5 ft 108 in - 18 in 90 in
Step 2:Set up proportions
6 x----- = -----108 90
Step 3:Cross Multiply & Solve
108x = 540x = 5 ft tall

Given the polynomial 21x 4 + 3y - 6x 2 + 34 What polynomial must be subtracted from it to obtain 29x 2 - 7 ? What polynomial mus

fredd [130]

Answer:

1. 21x⁴+3y-35x² + 41

2. -21x⁴-3y+6x² + x

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding and subtracting polynomials , you can use the distributive property to add or subtract the coefficients of like terms.

1. The polynomial is 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34

To obtain polynomial 29x² -7 , we must subtract some polynomial from it.

Let that polynomial be k.

So, 21x⁴ + 3y -6x² + 34 - k = 29x² -7

k = 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² +34 - 29x² +7 = 21x⁴ + 3y - 35x² + 41

2. To obtain a first degree polynomial, let that polynomial be x +34

So, 21x⁴ + 3y - 6x² + 34 + K = x + 34

K = x + 34 - 21x⁴ -3y + 6x² - 34

= -21x⁴ - 3y + 6x² + x
