Chris has a large collection of hockey cards and wants to get of rid of some of his hockey cards. he gives 2 cards away on day 1, 4 cards away on day 2, and 8 cards away on day 3. he continues this pattern for 10 days. which statement describes why this sequence is a function? select each correct answer. a. each amount of hockey cards corresponds to a unique day in this sequence. b. the graph of this sequence would pass the vertical line test. c. the graph of this sequence would pass the horizontal line test. d. each day corresponds to a unique amount of hockey cards in this sequence.

We define

dayX
hockey cards away f(X)
He gives 2 cards away on day 1f(X)=2   X=1
He gives 4 cards away on day 2f(X)=4   X=2
He gives 8 cards away on day 3f(X)=8   X=3
the sequence of cards away      2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024 

f(x) = 2**(x)

The answers are

D Each day corresponds to a unique amount of hockey cards in this sequence. 
And B The graph of this sequence would pass the vertical line test.

Each element of the Domain (X = day), relates to a single value of f(x) = number of hockey cards

That is, every value of X must have only one corresponding value of f(x)
(One value of y, for each input X)

This can also be checked by using the vertical line test. 

If we plot f(x) and we draw vertical lines in the curve, we can verify that at every input the line intersects only one point of f(x)

Shania is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right angled triangle, given two sides and an angle, we can use the sine rule or the various trigonometry identities to solve the triangle;

a/sin A = b/sinB

and

sin (angle) = opposite side/hypotenuse

cos (angle) = adjacent side/hypotenuse

tan (angle) = opposite/ adjacent

assuming a is the opposite side of angle A and b is also opposite of angle B

Otherwise, the only way to solve a triangle given two sides only is by the use of the Pythagoras theorem.

Hence, Shania is correct.
