Answer:
Only C is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
To test whether a graph is a function you use the vertical line test.
If you can place a vertical line anywhere on the plane (in the domain of the "function" to be tested) and it intersects the curve at more than one point, the curve is not a function.
We see with A, wherever we put the vertical line it intersects twice.
With B, it intersects infinitely many times.
C is a function because wherever we put the vertical line, it only intersects once.
D is a function because it intersects twice providing we do not put it on the "tip" of the parabola.
The mathematical reasoning behind this is that a function must be well-defined, that is it must send every x-value to one specific y-value. There can be no confusion about where the function's input is going. If you look at graph B and I ask you what is f(3)? Is it 1? 2? 3? ... Who knows, it's not well-defined and so it's not a function. However if I ask you about C, whichever input value for x I give you, you can tell me to which y-value it gets mapped/sent to.
Absolute Value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, -7 is 7 units away from zero, so its absolute value would be 7.
Answer:
5/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the chance that something will happen. Basically, it answers the question of how many times an event will occur in a given number of opportunities.
In this example, the word "GEOMETRICAL" has 11 letters and 5 of them are vowels. They are: E, O, E, I, A. The probability of picking a vowel is 5/11. We could say that there are 5 out of 11 chances of a vowel to occur whenever a piece of paper is taken out of the bag.
