Help please

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

OpenStudy (amorfide):

graph them and do a vertical line test however, the last one is a circle, and hence is not a function due to the vertical line test

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

So c and D?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Still need help?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

@3mar YES PLEASE

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here. Welcome back!

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Thank you glad you can help

OpenStudy (3mar):

That is with my pleasure, sister! I am here for your help. One simlpe approach: graph each, and see if it passes the "vertical line test"

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay hold on I will go on demos graphing calculator, once I get my answer can you check it

OpenStudy (3mar):

Of course, sister. I will not be late for any help.

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay so this is what I got brother

OpenStudy (3mar):

You are Excellent! Which one(s) satisfies the "vertical line test"?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Vertical line test is when you go across and see if there is only one point for each right?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, that is right! and the graph - which in crossed more than once by this vertical line - does not represent a function! Did you get the idea?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Yes now let me try the problem

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

C is one answer right? Because it does not have more than one value?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Show me! \[\Huge\color{DodgerBlue }ツ\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

\[\Huge\color{RoyalBlue }{\checkmark \large {for ~~ C}}\]

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

so yes fro C?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

for*

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes, sister.. You hit the right target! What else?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Well a and b look about the same , I'm not sure about those

OpenStudy (3mar):

a represents a horizontal parabola, graphed like that! |dw:1480317318425:dw|
