What are the only values of x below that would make the following relation NOT be a functional relationship?

(2, 5), (3, 12), (7,1), (x, 10)

x can be anything, except for 2, 3, and 7, because a function cannot have the same x mapped to a different y.

Example: If x = 2, then we'd have (2, 5) and (2, 10), which is impossible for functions.

Jim sits on his bike at the top of a hill and then starts to pedal down the hill as his speed increases.  When he reaches the bottom, he starts up a new hill as his speed lowers.

Which graph matches the scenario?

Graph 3- the incline on the graph is his speed increasing going down the hill.  His speed peaks and then goes back down as he begins the climb the next hill.

Three times the difference of a number and five is the same as the number added to five.  Write an equation and then find the number.

3(n-5)=n+5

3n-15=n+5

Subtract n from both sides and add 15 on both

2n=20

n=10

Solve

4(2-5x)=6-3(1-3x)

Distribute (carefully)

8-20x=6-3+9x

8-20x=3+9x

Add 20x on both sides, then subtract 3 on both sides

5=29x

x=5/29

Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (2,6) and is perpendicular to the line 4x + 2y = 8.

First, find the slope of the line 4x+ 2y = 8 by isolating the y.

2y = -4x + 8 (divide by 2) y=-2x + 4

m=-2, so the new line must have a slope of 1/2

Then, use point-slope with the point (2,6) provided.

y-6=1/2(x-2)

That answer is fine, or turn to slope intercept

y-6=1/2x-1

add 6

y=1/2x+5

Billy leans a 15-ft ladder against a wall.  The base of the ladder is 9 ft from the wall.  How high on the wall does the ladder reach?

a^2+9^2=15^2

a^2+81=225

Subtract 81

a^2=144

a=12 ft

3 kids and 2 adults pay a total of $120 for baseball tickets.  Another group of 5 kids and 1 adult paid $95 for the same baseball game.  How much do kids' tickets and adult tickets cost?

3k+2a=150

5k+a=95

Solve the system (elimination or substitution)

a = 95-5k

3k + 2(95-5k) = 120

3k + 190 - 10k = 120

-7k = -70

k = $10

a = 95-5(10) = $45

3w - 1 + w + 2 + 5 = 2w + w + 2w + w

4w + 6 = 6w

Subtract 4w from both sides

6 = 2w; thus w = 3

The longer side is 2w, so 6

Factor and solve:

6x^2-19x=7


6x^2-19x-7=0

Factor with Guess & Check or AC/Grouping

(2x-7)(3x+1)=0

2x-7=0 or 3x+1=0

2x=7           3x = -1

x = 7/2         x = -1/3

Solve

2/3k-1/3=2/9

Add 1/3 on both sides (with common denominators)

3/9+2/9

2/3k=5/9

Multiply both sides by 3/2

k=5/9*3/2

k=5/6
