How do you simplify: 5(8 + 7) ?
a. 75
b. 65
c. 47
d. 15

C. 47

Step-by-step explanation:

5(8 + 7)

Expand the brackets. Brackets mean to multiply.

5(8 + 7)

5 * 8 + 7

= 40 + 7

= 47

the answer is ! ?

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
