Consider the relation below: 

(4, 5) (-2, 3) (0, -2) (1, 2) (-6, 1) ( 2, 2) (7, 8) (-3, 6) (-4, 6) (9,-2) 

Is the relation a function? Explain your reasoning

Yes. The relation is a function because every x or input has exactly one y or output.

The mouse population is 25,000 and is decreasing in size at a rate of 20% per year. Would this situation be modeled by a linear or exponential function and why? 

A) Linear; 20% decreases at a constant rate 

B) Linear; 0.2 decreases at a constant rate 

C) Exponential; 0.20 growth factor

D) Exponential; 0.20 growth rate

A car is traveling down a long, steep hill. The elevation, E, above sea level (in feet) of the car when it is d miles from the top of the hill is given by E = 7500 – 250d.

What is the y-intercept and what does it mean in the context of this problem?

What is y-intercept: (0, 7500). The cars starting elevation is 7500 feet above sea level.

Melina receives a chain e-mail that she forwards to 7 of her friends. Each of her friends forwards it to 7 of their friends. The process continues.

What is the domain of the function in relation to the context of the problem? Explain your answer.

All real positive INTEGERS because you cannot have part of a friend.
