Question

Solve the equation:

Answer

To solve the quadratic equation, , we set the equation equal to zero and then factor the quadratic, . Because these expressions multiply to equal 0, then it must be that at least one of the expressions equals 0. So we set up the corresponding equations and to obtain the answers and .

Question

Select the table that properly represents a function.

Answer

Each of the tables provided contains sets of ordered pairs. The input column represents the x-variables, and the output column represents the y-variables. We can tell if a set of ordered pairs represents a function when we match x-values to y-values.

In order for a table to represents a function, there must be one and only one input for every output. This means that our correct answer will have all unique input values:
