you don't show the graph, but graphing y=x^2 it is a U shaped line that starts at (0,0) and the lines go upwards on both sides of the Y axis,
This means all real numbers above 0 and 0 will solve it
so the range is y≥0
Whole numbers are a subset of integers, which in turn are a subset of rational numbers.
So, every whole number is an integer, and every integer is a rational number.
So, it is possible for a rational number not to be an integer. Think of any decimal number: 1.356 is a rational number, but it's not an integer.
On the other hand, if a number is not an integer, it can't be a whole number, because all whole numbers are integers.
60 blocks in 30 min
18 blocks in 9 min
Method 1
60-18 = 42
42 blocks in 21 min
Method 2
30-9 =21 min
Answer:
Because they have never had to express one quantity in terms of another. The idea of such a relationship is completely new, as is the vocabulary for expressing such relationships.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Function" is a simple concept that says you can relate two quantities, and you can express that relationship in a number of ways. (ordered pairs, table, graph)
The closest experience most students have with functions is purchasing things at a restaurant or store, where the amount paid is a function of the various quantities ordered and the tax. Most students have never added or checked a bill by hand, so the final price is "magic", determined solely by the electronic cash register. The relationship between item prices and final price is completely lost. Hence the one really great opportunity to consider functions is lost.
Students rarely play board games or counting games (Monopoly, jump rope, jacks, hide&seek) that would give familiarity with number relationships. They likely have little or no experience with the business of running a lemonade stand or making and selling items. Without these experiences, they are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to applying math to their world.
They give you the equation for Louis, and the table for Carl. Just find out Carl's equation by dividing the money earned by the time. 45 divided by 3 equals 15. Check it by the next time, 75 divided by 5 equals 15. So Carl's equation is y = 15x. 15x ( Carl's) greater than 12x ( Louis's).
