Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.

A function is only a function if it passes the vertical line test, meaning every x-value has only one y-value. In the case of this graph, it does not pass the vertical line tests and has multiple y-values for each x-value.

Correct A. No; the graph fails the vertical line test.

B is incorrect because y-values can have more than 1 x-value, such as a function like y = 2. The opposite is the correct statement; x-values can have no more than 1 y-value. For example, x = 2 would not pass the vertical line test.

Hope this helps!

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x
