A beetle is down In the ground and he takes down to find an ant. A beetle starts at 2 inches below ground level. The beetle takes down 1/3 of the distance, D, that the end is below ground level. The beetle is now at 4 inches below ground level. What is the distance, D, the aunt is below ground level?

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.

step-by-step explanation:

yes   because as the functions are graphed they eventually will intersect unless otherwise
