Find the value of the expression.
b2 − a
for a = 4 and b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Set a to 4 and b to 5

21

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem we will substitute b to equal 5 and a to equal 4.

b2 - a

Plug in the values for b and a

5^2 - 4    (Solve 5^2 5 x 5 = 25)

25 - 4 (Subtract)

21 is the value of the expression.

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

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.
