Determine if the equation x – y4 = 1 defines y as a function of x

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for y:-

x - y^4 = 1

y^4 = x - 1

y = +/- (x - 1)^(1/4)

This is a one-to-many relation . For a given value of y there  2 values of x.

So this is NOT a function.

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)
