Hi there Mary Dominguez, So what a vertical line test down is to find out if a particular graph is a function or not. What you do is take a vertical strait line and move it right to left or left to right, depending on your preference, along the X axis. The reason this works is a function can not have an x that has 2 different y values. If we use the vertical line test on a graph with say a graph that has (2,3) and (2,4) we can use the vertical line test and see that the line hits 2 points at once which means its not a function :)

When a vertical line passes through the graph of a function, it will intersect the graph at only one point. More than one point on any given vertical line means that the same x is being paired with 2 different y's and that make the graph not a function.

Consider the function represented by the graph. What is the domain of this function
Neporo4naja [7]
The end of the ray stops the x values from proceeding left at x=0. So your domain is from that point on to infinity. In your solution set x >= 0, since the arrow continues on the right side where x's are positive.

A company that manufactures small canoes has a fixed cost of $ 18 comma 000$18,000. It costs $ 120$120 to produce each canoe. Th
Scilla [17]
If the company makes 1 canoe only, then the cost is, the fixed cost plus how much it costs for the 1 canoe, or
180,000 + 1*120

if it makes 2 canoes
180,000 + 2*120
3 canoes   180,000 + 3*120
4canoes   180,000 + 4*120
x canoes  180,000 + x*120

so... we dunno what "x" is, but whatever "x" maybe, the cost ends up as 180,000 + x*120, or 180,000 + 120x

now, let's see the revenue
1 canoe 1 * 240
2 canoes 2*240
3 canoes 3*240
x canoes x*240

so.. whatever "x" maybe, the Revenue is x*240 or 240x

break-even point is when, the amount of expenses and earnings cancel each other out, or, there's no profit, but there's no loss either, same amount that's spent is also earned back

so, the break-even point occurs when Revenue = Cost

180,000 + 120x = 240x     <--- solve for "x"

svp [43]

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = Event of getting an A in Marketing class.

S = Event of getting an A in Spanish class,

i.e. P(M) = 0.80 , P(S) = 0.60 and P(M∩S)=0.45

Required probability = P(neither M nor S)

= P(M'∩S')

= P(M∪S)'                                 [∵P(A'∩B')=P(A∪B)']

=1- P(M∪S)                               [∵P(A')=1-P(A)]

= 1- (P(M)+P(S)- P(M∩S))   [∵P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)]

= 1- (0.80+0.60-0.45)

= 1- 0.95

= 0.05

hence, the probability that Helen does not get an A in either class= 0.05
