Yes, it depends on what kind of model
A function is a relationship with a quantity (number). For example, if you made a table, and had one side be 1 2 3 4 5 (X axis) and then the y axis (other side) be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, the function (rule) would be y= x5. The vertical line test is used to see if a graph has a function or not, so if it creates a vertical line on a graph, it has a function.
A real life situation would be miles per hour, so, for the x axis (hours) it said 1, and for the y axis (miles) it would be 60, this means in a duration of 1 hour you went 60 miles. Well, lets say you went 2 hours driving, the miles would be 120.
For 3 hours, it would be 180. The function here is y= x60!

Answer:
2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the determinant, which says that for a quadratic of the form ax² + bx + c, we can determine what kind of solutions it has by looking at the determinant of the form:
b² - 4ac
If b² - 4ac > 0, then there are 2 real solutions. If b² - 4ac = 0, then there is 1 real solution. If b² - 4ac < 0, then there are 2 imaginary solutions.
Here, a = 6, b = -20, and c = 1. So, plug these into the determinant formula:
b² - 4ac
(-20)² - 4 * 6 * 1 = 400 - 24 = 376
Since 376 is clearly greater than 0, we know this quadratic has 2 real solutions.

Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4y2-12y+9
The first term is, 4y2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -12y its coefficient is -12 .
The last term, "the constant", is +9
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • 9 = 36
Step-2 : Find two factors of 36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -12 .
-36 + -1 = -37
-18 + -2 = -20
-12 + -3 = -15
-9 + -4 = -13
-6 + -6 = -12 That's it
This is a binomial probability situation, since a dog either is adopted or is not adopted. The chances of a dog's being adopted in 0.20. Here we're speaking of 9 visits. Thus, n=9, p=0.20.
One way of doing this problem is to calculate the probability that ONE dog will be adopted, and then that that TWO dogs will be adopted, and so on, up to NINE dogs. Add together these nine probabilities to get your answer.
But a better (faster) approach would be to calculate the probability that ZERO dogs will be adopted, and then to subtract this from 1.000.
Using my TI-84Plus calculator, I figured that P(0 dogs will be adopted) is binompdf(9,0.20,0), or 0.134. Subtracting this from 1.000, we get 0.866 (answer to this problem).
