Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number
Then 3x = its triple, and the condition is:
x - 8 < 3x
Subtract x from each side
-8 < 2x
Divide each side by 2
-4 < x
Reverse the inequality
x > -4
The smallest integer greater than -4 is -3.
Check:
-3 - 8 < 3(-3)
-11 < -9
It checks.
What’s c? Not valid question
A number decreased by three square is: (where x is the number)
x - 3^2
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes because each value of x maps to a single value of y.
THere is a many-to-one relation with (1, 12) and (5, 12) but that is OK for a function. What would not be OK is if we had a one-to-many relation like (1, 12) and (1, 14) included in the ordered pairs - that is not a function.
