Which statement best describes a many-to-one function? A. It passes the horizontal line test.
B. A function that has y-values with more than one corresponding x-
value.
C. It is a linear function.
O D. It is a nonlinear function.

B

Step-by-step explanation:

many different values of x lead to the same value of y.

hence, many-to-one.

but it does not mean that all values of x have to lead to the same value of y. it could be, but it is not demanded. so, it is not necessarily a horizontal line.

and this does not give us any information about the power of x involved. so, we cannot make any statement about linear or non-linear function.

where is the rest of the

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
