Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know. 5

A. No; there are y-values that have more than one x-value.
B. No; the graph fails the vertical line test.
C. Yes; the graph passes the vertical line test.
D. Yes; there are no y-values that have more than one x-value.

Option (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

To check a graph whether it's a function or not we use a vertical line test. In this test first we draw a vertical line on the given graph. If this line intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph is not a function.

In the given parabola, opening upwards passes the vertical line test.

Therefore, this graph shows a function.

Option (C) will be the answer.

hope this !

step-by-step explanation:

d = distance between moon and sun, which in this problem is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  

the distance y is the side opposite to angle x in the right triangle.   use the definition of the sine function from basic trigonometry.

sin(x) = y/d ⇒

d = y/sin(x)

1. perpendicular

2. parallel
