True or False: The folowing function has no absolute maximum * (1 Point)​

Mathematics

<h3>Answer: True</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The absolute maximum is the largest y output of a function. Visually, it is always located at the highest point on the curve. It appears that y = 2 is the absolute maximum because of the highest point (3,2). However, this is an open hole which is <u>not</u> part of the graph. Think of the curve like a road, and the open hole is a pothole you can't drive over.  

Since (3,2) is not part of the graph, this means we can't reach y = 2 itself. We can get closer and closer to 2 from the underside, but that's about it. So this is why this graph does not have an absolute maximum. The absolute minimum doesn't exist either for similar reasoning.

Put another way, let's say we could claim there is an absolute max and the claim is that it's y = 1.999; the problem with this statement is that we can get closer to 2 by claiming the absolute max is y = 1.9999, and then we can get closer at y = 1.99999 and so on. We'll never be able to reach 2 itself.

Therefore, the claim "the function has no absolute maximum" is true.

Please help<br><br> In which table does y vary directly with x?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Table D

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

<em>Table A</em>

For x=1, y=3

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=3/1=3

For x=2, y=9

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=9/2=4.5

the values of k are different

therefore

The table A not represent a direct variation

<em>Table B</em>

For x=1, y=-5

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=-5/1=-5

For x=2, y=5

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=5/2=2.5

the values of k are different

therefore

The table B not represent a direct variation

<em>Table C</em>

For x=1, y=-18

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=-18/1=-18

For x=2, y=-9

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=-9/2=-4.5

the values of k are different

therefore

The table A not represent a direct variation

<em>Table D</em>

For x=1, y=4

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=4/1=4

For x=2, y=8

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=8/2=4

For x=3, y=12

Find the value of k

k=y/x -----> k=12/3=4

All the values of k are equal

therefore

The table D represent a direct variation or proportional relationship

The linear equation is y=4x

This question is not complete because is lacks the options for each question.

Complete question

mr. whittaker’s science class uses tide gauges to measure annual variations in water levels at different parts of a river, and then compares those variations to the average annual trend. matea recorded that the water level in one part of the river fell 1.05 millimeters per year for 2.48 years. this data will be compared to the average annual trend, which shows the water level rising 1.8 mm/year.

1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?

a. -1.05 mm/year

b. -1.8 mm/year

c. -2.48 years

d. -2.48 mm/year

2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

a. 1.05 mm/year

b. 1.8 mm/year

c. 2.48 years

d. 2.48 mm/year

Answer:

1) Which number represents the rate at which the water level fell?

a. -1.05 mm/year

2) Which number should the rate be multiplied by to find the total variation in water level?

c. 2.48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Variation in the water level is calculated by multiplying the rate at which the water level and number or years at which the rate of the water level fell

From the question, we can see that the rate at which the water level fell is -1.05 mm/year and number of years at which the water level fell is 2.48mm

Hence,Total Variation in the water level is calculated as

-1.05 mm/year × 2.48 years

Total variation in the water level = -2.604mm

2/3 + 3/4 + 4/2. If a fraction appears in your answer, it should be in simplified form.
V125BC [204]
We must first make each fraction have a common denominator, this will be 12
2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
4/2 * 6/6 = 24/12
we can then add the numerators of each fraction
8 + 9 + 24 = 41
so our answer is 41/12
we can not simplify any further and thus get
41/12

The definition of theorem? <br>​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

In mathematics, a theorem is a non-self-evident statement that has been proven to be true, either on the basis of generally accepted statements such as axioms or on the basis of previously established statements such as other theorems. A theorem is hence a logical consequence of the axioms, with a proof of the theorem being a logical argument which establishes its truth through the inference rules of a deductive system. As a result, the proof of a theorem is often interpreted as justification of the truth of the theorem statement. In light of the requirement that theorems be proved, the concept of a theorem is fundamentally deductive, in contrast to the notion of a scientific law, which is experimental.
