Select all statments that are true A.) This graph is one to-one B.)f (4.9)=5 C.)f (-3.4)=-4 D.)This is the graph of the absolute value function E.)this is the graph of the greatest integer function. PLEASE HELP!!(i will add graph soon)

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

OpenStudy (maurticewilliams):

hold on

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

okay

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Let's go through the answer choices one by one `A.) This graph is one to-one` is that true or false? why?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: horizontal line test

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

@jim_thompson5910 i belive its false

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

Because it goes through 2 points

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes you are correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's possible to pass a horizontal line through more than one point on this graph, so it is not one-to-one

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`B.)f (4.9)=5` true or false? and why do you think this?

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

true? I dont really . remember but i think bc it rounds up to 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

actually it should be f(4.9) = 4 you round DOWN to the nearest whole number

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no matter how close you get to 5 (4.9, 4.99, 4.999, 4.9999, etc) you'll round down to 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you look at the graph, you locate x = 4.9 on the x axis draw a vertical line through 4.9 on the x axis then make note where the vertical line crosses the blue graph

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the point (4.9, 4) is on the blue graph

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

Okay

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

So a,b are not true

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`So a,b are not true` I agree

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`C.)f (-3.4)=-4` true or false? why?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: think of a vertical number line. Where is -3.4 located? What's directly below this value?

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

I think its false because i looked at the graph and it looked like it went to -3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

-3.4 will round DOWN to -4

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

Oh how come?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see attached

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

Ohh i didnt aee it correctly

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

.see

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

So so far c is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`D.)This is the graph of the absolute value function` true or false? and why?

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

I think its false because i dont really know how to explain

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it is false. An absolute value equation would have a V shape like this http://2012books.lardbucket.org/books/advanced-algebra/section_05/f800ff00fb0c0579741140bd63f30a6c.png

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`E.)this is the graph of the greatest integer function.` true or false? why?

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

True because its like the f (x)=1×1 thing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep this is a greatest integer function http://www.mathnstuff.com/math/spoken/here/1words/g/g6.htm

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Summary: A) false B) false C) true D) false E) true so only C) and E) are true

OpenStudy (svnnynight9):

Thank you soo much for helping

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
