Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of snow in a brick-like pattern. She has a maximum height for this wall in mind, and she wants to figure out how many blocks can be stacked vertically in her wall while remaining below this maximum. So, she constructs the expression 0.4x + 0.6 to measure the height of her wall, where all constants represent measurements in meters. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. 0.4 represents the height of the wall. 0.4 represents the height of the base. 0.4 represents the height of each block. 0.6 represents the height of the wall. 0.6 represents the height of the base. 0.6 represents the height of each block.

The correct options are;

0.4 represents the height of each block

0.6 represents the height of the base

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The activity Kirima is engaged in = Building a wall

The process by which she is building the wall includes

1) Construction of a base on the floor

2) Piling blocks of uniform height to form the wall

3) Estimating the height of the wall she is constructing with the expression 0.4·x + 0.6 where the constants which are 0.4 and 0.6 are in meters;

From her procedure, we have the constants, which are the values that do not change as follows;

1) The firm base

2) The uniformly sized blocks

Of the two constants, the one that consists of multiple items is the uniform sized blocks as they are laid in brick pattern

There is only one firm base

Therefore, the constant that has a variable is the uniform sized blocks

Which gives in the expression 0.4·x + 0.6, we have;

0.4 = The dimension of the uniform sized blocks

∴ 0.6 = The dimension of the firm base.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:
