ramen:

do you know the vertical line test?

TheSmartOne:

Do you know what a function is? I wouldn't be able to explain it as well nor do I have the time or patience at the moment so I'll direct you to do a little bit of reading so that way you have some basic understanding https://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/function.html

ramen:

Do you have an idea what doesn't make a function?

TheSmartOne:

Basically Every x value has to have 1 y-value You cannot have one x-value give us back two different y-values You can however have two different x-values give us the same y-value The vertical line test is another way to remember all this. If you plot all the points, as long as you're able to draw a vertical line and it doesn't go through two points, then it is a function Otherwise it is not a function if the vertical line goes through two points

clon800t:

@ramen i dont understand the line test i just need to know how to read the charts im pretty sure there functions

TheSmartOne:

You're right

ramen:

in the vertical line test, it is not a function if any of the points cross each other going downwards. E.g. we cannot have 2 of the same exact x values

ramen:

so yea ur right

clon800t:

how would i do thoses then

ramen:

Now we can use the vertical line test

TheSmartOne:

Check out the link I sent, it explains it better with an image also your question asks you to make a mapping diagram (Not sure if that's just a tip/hint for you and all you have is a multiple choice yes/no)

ramen:

vertically, if any 2 parts of the line hit each other, then it is not a function. For the first picture, do you see any parts of the line that contradict each other vertically?

TheSmartOne:

https://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/function.html Scroll down to where it says vertical line test If you draw a line in the function, does it cross the graph at more than one point? If yes, then it's not a function If no, then it is a function

TheSmartOne:

will let ramen take over

ramen:

yep read that

clon800t:

so would 5 be not a function and 6 be a functon

ramen:

yep!

ramen:

good job

clon800t:

would that be right?

ramen:

yes

ramen:

since time is what controlls the number of cookies, that is the x aspect

ramen:

there are no repeating x's

clon800t:

okay thanks

clon800t:

any idea how to do these i havnt done any of my math homework since march 13th

ramen:

do you know Pythagorean theorem?

clon800t:

nope

ramen:

do you have the formula in your notes?

clon800t:

no

ramen:

try looking at this https://www.mathsisfun.com/pythagoras.html

clon800t:

ok

ramen:

do you understand it so far?

ramen:

with what?

clon800t:

okay so with number one i got c=124 for 2 i got c= 328 for 3 i got c = 168 are thoses right?

ramen:

how did you get 124 for 1?

ramen:

so after reading the article, the formula is a^2+b^2=c^2

ramen:

a and b are the given sides for #1, while c is always the side opposite of the right angle

ramen:

so for number 1, square a and square b. Add those 2 together. Then take the square root of that answer

clon800t:

yes i got it by 7^2+24^2=c^2 14 + 48=62 62^2= 124

ramen:

7^2 is not 14

clon800t:

wait hold up lol

ramen:

when you square a number, take 7^2 for example, you multiply it by itself again. so 7^2 = 7*7 = 49

ramen:

same with 24^2

ramen:

lol

clon800t:

c= 130

ramen:

try again

ramen:

7^2+24^2 is the same thing as (7*7)+(24*24)

clon800t:

625

ramen:

and use your calculator to do the square root function √

ramen:

Yes! and now take the square root of 625

clon800t:

25

clon800t:

so dos that make the anwers 25 then?

ramen:

yes!

ramen:

for number 1

ramen:

now do the same exact thing you did for the problems WITH C missing. keep in mind C is ALWAYS the side opposite of the right angle

clon800t:

so the other ones are wrong to ?

ramen:

if A or b is missing, then we can do C^2-B^2= A^2 or C^2-A^2=B^2

ramen:

yes but now you understand it

clon800t:

so 2 would be 65?

ramen:

yes!

ramen:

good job

ramen:

For #4,5,6 A or b is missing, so we can do C^2-B^2= A^2 or C^2-A^2=B^2

clon800t:

for 3 its 30?

ramen:

yes!

ramen:

now you are getting the hang of it

clon800t:

okay so how do i do 4,5,6 cuz im legitly confused

Tayler109:

what are you doing???

ramen:

if A or b is missing, then we can do C^2-B^2= A^2 or C^2-A^2=B^2

ramen:

just take the square C, then square the other given side, and subtract it from the square root of C, then square root that answer.

ramen:

hope this makes sense

ramen:

its kind of like 4+5=9 but 9-5=4

clon800t:

so for 4 i would do 20^2-29^2?

ramen:

the other way around 29^2-20^2, then take the square root of that answer

ramen:

for these types of problems, ALWAYS start with C

clon800t:

so 29^2-20^2= 441^2 =21?

ramen:

YES!

ramen:

well it is square root of 441 not 441 squared

ramen:

but the answer is right

clon800t:

okay lol

ramen:

is that all the help you need?

clon800t:

for now

ramen:

k good job!

clon800t:

for 5 it givs me a decmil and i not doing right?

clon800t:

@ramen can it be a decimal then?

ramen:

you should have gotten a whole number

ramen:

did you do 53^2 - 45^2 then takke the square root of that answer?

clon800t:

lol no i did 54 XD i fixed it the answer is 28

ramen:

yes

ramen:

good job

ramen:

you don't get decimals for this worksheet, but in differenty problems, decimals can occur which is perfectly fine

ramen:

and the ANS button on your calculator is very helful

ramen:

the angle of the problem is weird but that shouldn't matter

clon800t:

29^2-20^2=9801=99?

ramen:

yes!

ramen:

good job

ramen:

you finished the worksheet?

clon800t:

part of it

ramen:

ok just let me know hen you need help

clon800t:

clon800t:

thats the next part

ramen:

ok

TheSmartOne:

I would advise making a new post for each new question

ramen:

oh yea good point

clon800t:

okay
