Help with math pls? I will fan and medal

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

OpenStudy (cderaalien):

The last one is NOT a function

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B are for sure

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the X. If the X repeats then it is only a relation. If you can do either the vertical line tst or see that the outputs arent repeating in the X then they are functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not sure about C tho because its not a quadratic. graph it for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have a graphing calculator?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xkzrsydixq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so it is a function because a vertical line only would pass through one point. So AB and C are all functions to my understanding

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A isn't a function because it maps one x value to two y-values. B and C are, but I'm not sure on D.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

it graphs 3 y values https://www.desmos.com/calculator/sxexqbsgq5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is not a function because the -1 repeats, good catch @Alphabet_Sam lol

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay can you help with some more please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, see how if you drew a vertical line on -1 it would pass through two points instead of one? That was what I meant by Vertical Line test. And yea hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to graph the two lines?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to graph those two lines?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

just enter them into the graphing calc?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can plot the two points and then connect them with a straight edge (or a straight line on the pc) for both lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What kind of math is this anyway? Liike what is the name of the course?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

it just says functions

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

so like this? https://www.desmos.com/calculator/2omlsi7mbv

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, are you able to connect the points of (-1,7) and (5,13)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like can u connect them with a line?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, do that for both sets of points

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

it wont let me

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

@Da_Homie it wont let me make lines for some reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, do you have graph paper where you are now??

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

no i dont have any at this house

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its ok. We will have to imagine lines then. So if we "drew" a line connecting the red dot and the blue dot, and the green and purple dots you can kind of see where they intersect at, you know what I mean?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

yeah one second i found a way

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

does this work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, perfect! So now that you have graphed the line, all you have to do is find the coordinates of the point that intersects them, you see?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

yes

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

like (1,9) maybe?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

its hard to tell

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

@Da_Homie

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

where did you go

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

@Da_Homie hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, Im back, I had to do something. So you take your best guess and then check to see what the answers are. So the closest thing to (1,9) is (1,7) so that is probably your answer.

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

my internet is being weird sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go for now. I will be back later

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

okay
