Which of the following best describes the graph above? A.
neither a relation nor a function
B.
function only
C.
relation only
D.
both a relation and a function

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

To test a graph whether it represents a function or relation we conduct a vertical line graph.

If the vertical line intersect the graph at two different points, graph represents a relation only.

By analyzing the given graph with the vertical line test,

Since, a vertical line (x = -4) intersect the graph at two points (y = -1 and y = 5),

Given graph represents a relation only.

Option C is the answer.

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
