Part A
1. Washington Post
2. The vertical line test (finish)
4.This function is
not linear
5.This function is
not linear because if we were to create an equation for the following graphs
the output (the y variable) would not equal its specific input (the x variable).
Additionally it does not make a straight line.
6.This function is
not a mathematical model because the outputs don’t depend on the inputs
Part B
1. The
relationships that are not functions don’t pass the vertical line test, have
multiple outputs for one input and not each output has an input.
2. From the Washington Post
3.This graph shows
the life expectancy in relation to a person’s income (in US dollars) per
country. The size of the circles depends
on the population size.
4.This relationship
is not a function because it firstly doesn’t pass the vertical line test and secondly
there are several input for each outputs and thirdly. Overall there are
countries that have similar inputs, which prevents this graph to be a function.

it looks like making money is the best way to live long haha
ReplyDeletelana,
ReplyDeletenice job on your first example. very well explained!
in your second example, what you actually see on these graphs are several separate relationships that constitute functions. every line is a new function, so this doesn't meet the criteria for the second part of the assignment. the information in the articles, however, is very interesting.
professor little
your first example was explained very thoroughly and made sense when i looked at the graph from your chosen article
