Answer:

It's fine. It is a function. The language can be very convoluted. Put simply a domain value cannot have 2 different range values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confusing part I think, is probably the fact that -1 and 1 both have an answer of 5.

That's fine. Parabolas do that and they are functions. Two different xs can have the same value. The thing that eliminates functions is when the x value (the domain) has two different y values (the range values). Then you don't have a function.

To try and make it clearer if 1 pointed at both 3 and 5 you would not have a function.

The Blazers hockey team has won 7 of its first 12 games.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The Rockets' team has the better record.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Blazers hockey team has played 12 games but they won only 7 out of the 12 games, so that means that they loss the other 5 games. So that makes the Blazers record 7 wins and 5 losses.

The Rockets' team has played 8 games but they won only 5 out of the 8 games, so that means that they loss the other 3 games. So that makes the Rockets' record 5 wins and 3 losses.

So, the Rockets' team has the better record because they loss less games than the Blazers team did.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The simplest (and most commonly used) area calculations are for squares and rectangles. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area

A 5 divided by 48 lottery involves choosing 5 of the numbers from 1 through 48 and a 4 divided by 35 lottery involves choosing 4

Anika [276]

Answer:

4/35 lottery is easier to win.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 5/48 lottery, the winning probability is $\frac{5}{48}$ ≈0.1042

For the 4/35 lottery, the winning probability is $\frac{4}{35}$ ≈ 0.1143

Since $\frac{4}{35}$ > $\frac{5}{48}$ , the lottery where one chooses 4 of the numbers 1 through 35 is easier to win.

A manufacturer is planning to sell a new product at the price of 210 dollars per unit and estimates that if x thousand dollars i

sattari [20]

Answer:

Development costs: $2757

Promotion costs: $3155

Step-by-step explanation:

This might seem like a two-variable problem, but in actuality it's not - because the demand function is a sum of two components, each being independent and using only one variable, we can solve for the two separately.

Moreover, the price per unit and cost per unit is constant, so each product yields exactly $80 ($210 - $130).

Let's solve separately.

We need to maximize:

$80 * 160y/(y+4) - 1000y = $12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y

$80 * 170x/(x+7) - 1000x = $13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x

Let's go:

$12800 * y/(y+4) - $1000*y = $12800 * (1 - 4/(y+4)) - $1000y = $12800 - $51200/(y+4) - $1000*y

we analyze the derivative. $12800 is a constant, so we can skip it. Derivative of 1/(y+4) is -(y+4)^-2, derivative of $1000y is $1000.

deriv = $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000

We find the changepoints by analyzing $51200/(y+4)/(y+4) - $1000 = $0. We don't need to worry about y+4 = 0 because we cannot spend negative money on development/advertisement.

(y+4)^2 = $51.2

y+4 ~= 7.155417528 (or -y-4 = 7.1554... but it doesn't make sense because negative budget so we don't analyze).

y ~= 3.155417528

lastly, we should check that it's actually a maximum there - but it is, the original function goes to negative infinity.

rounding $1000y to the nearest dollar gives us $3155

Let's do the same for x:

$13600 * x/(x+7) - $1000*x = $13600 * (1 - 7/(x+7)) - $1000x = $13600 - $95200/(x+7) - $1000*x

deriv = $95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000

$95200/(x+7)/(x+7) - $1000 = $0

(x+7)^2 = 95.2

(x+7) ~= 9.75704873412

x ~= 2.75704...

rounding $1000x to the nearest dollar yields $2757
