X = The number of members 

<span>450 / x = Each person's share </span>

<span>(450 / x) + 3 = Having gone up by three dollars </span>

<span>(450 / (x - 5)) = Each person's share minus the five deadbeats </span>

<span>(450 / x) + 3 = 450 / (x - 5) </span>

<span>Solve for x... </span>

<span>450 + 3x = 450x / (x - 5) </span>

<span>450(x - 5) + 3x(x - 5) = 450x </span>

<span>450x - 2250 + 3x² - 15x - 450x = 0 </span>

<span>3x² - 15x - 2250 = 0 </span>

<span>3(x - 30)(x + 25) = 0 </span>

<span>x = 30, -25 </span>

<span>The negative result is meaningless... </span>

<span>x = 30 members</span>

Mars2501 [29]
The true statemens are:


All function have (at least) a dependent variable. That is why you can write y = f(x), x is the independent variable, while y depends on x values, so y is the independent variable. 


All function have and independent variable (explained above).


A horizontal line is an example of a funcitional relationship (because given a value of x, you can always tell the value of y)



The other statements are false:

<span>The range of a function includes its domain is false.

Domain are the values that x can take and the range are the values that the function (y) can take. One is not included in the other.


A vertical  line is an example of a functional relationship is false, because you can not tell the value of y for any value of x. 


</span>
<span>Each output value of a function can correspond to only one input value is false.  An output can be generated by more than one value of x. The horizontal line is an example of that: the same value of y (output) corresponde to any value of x.</span>

Answer:

576 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Express this volume formula as V = π r^2 h, where the " ^ " symbol indicates exponentiation.  Substitute 4 for r (this is half the diameter), 12 cm for h, and 3 for π:  V = 3*(4)^2*12 cm^3, or V = 576 cm^3.
