I have 6 questions that I need checked If anyone can help. I'll post 'em one at a time below. I'm REALLY confused. ; n;

OpenStudy (ria23):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it has an answer check/bulleted, does that mean that's the one you think is correct?

OpenStudy (ria23):

I answered some of them, I don't know if the ones I did answer are right tho, and the one's I didn't answer, If yhu could walk me through how to do it, that would be awesome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That first one looks correct.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Awesome! ^.^ Here's the second one. This one requires one or more answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one, the domain goes to infinity and negative infinity, so it covers all real numbers. the range is greater than or equal to 0. so the first box and last box. Let me know if you have questions on why.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Could yhu explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I was away from my computer. So the domain relates to the x-axis. If you zoomed out, the line keeps extending to the left and the right. If x=1,000,000 you could plot that. no matter how far you go to the left or how far you go to the right, there is still a point on the line for x. the range is for the y axis. for x=1, y=0. No matter what point you pick for x, you cannot have a negative y. Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (ria23):

OH! Yes, it does.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Are yhu ready for the third question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (ria23):

I didn't understand this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, this one is a little tougher.ok, so x relates to domain. f(x) relates to y (kind of...that's the easiest way to think about it). It gives you the points for x (-2, -1, 0, and so on). That top row is your x or domain and the bottom row is the range. You put in x and get out f(x). f(-2)=5. You put in -2 and get 5. The only one is the second one from the options. If any of this is confusing let me know. It's harder to explain over the computer.

OpenStudy (ria23):

So... f(x) would be any of the top numbers... The x's? ... And what yhu get out... Is the bottom number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. so the x on the top row, is the x in the f(x). If you put in -2, the x would change to f(-2).

OpenStudy (ria23):

So.... Would the last 3 options be right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, it's actually the second and last, not just the second. It wouldn't be the third because if you plotted them, it wouldn't be a line, it would be points. Check out this site, it might explain it better https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/algebra-functions/domain_and_range/v/domain-and-range-of-a-relation

OpenStudy (ria23):

That helped a lot. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

khan academy is a great website for math. I'm on there quite a bit watching videos and doing problems.

OpenStudy (ria23):

I've heard it was a good site to go to but for like... Practicing different equations and stuff. Here's the fourth question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{ (3+x) }{ (x-3) }~~~~~~~~~f(a+2)=\frac{ (3+(a+2)) }{ ((a+2)-3) }\] That's basically what that one is saying. The one on the left is the start and the one on the right is what happens when you put a+2 in for x. You'll have to do the algebra, but that's a start. I can verify the answer if you're not sure about it.

OpenStudy (ria23):

So all yhu had to do was plug (a+2) in for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (ria23):

I'm not sure how this works into the answers, after plugging that in, do yhu solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, just add like terms.

OpenStudy (ria23):

It would be B right? 3+2 on top leaves yhu with 5+a and 2-3 on the bottom leaves yhu with -1+a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, nice job.

OpenStudy (ria23):

That was so easy! Oh my gosh. >u<

OpenStudy (ria23):

Before we move onto number 5, If they give me x in all the future f(x) problems, Would I plug it in like I did for this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. It get's more confusing as you go. Just double check your work. It's easy to get things mixed around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for question 5, it would be the first and that last one. So for it to be a function, there can only be 1 value for an x term. For this one if you plug 3 in for x, you'd get f(3), but it doesn't equal one number. 3 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, -1 so it's not a function.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Oh, I remember going over that, yhu can have two x functions but not two y's right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep. the vertical line test.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it might also be the 3rd one. i'm not sure on that.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Should I put it just in case. :D This is the last one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I think it's correct.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Awesome! ^.^ Thank yhu so much for all yhur help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait, hang on with that last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, i meant I think it's correct for question 5. it should be the 3rd one also.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the last one is C.

OpenStudy (ria23):

Yhur the best. ^u^ I got 100. Thank yhu for walking me through how to do those.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. It helps me out too just going over those types of questions again. Good luck this year.
