1a
The points (0,3) and (0, −3) have the same 𝑥-coordinate 𝑥 = 0. Thus when 𝑥 = 0
is the input, there are two outputs :𝑦 = 3 and 𝑦 = −3. The vertical line 𝑥 = 0

graph to understand it is not a function.

function.

10a) The zeroes are −1 and 2, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2).
The y-intercept is (0, −2), so we sub it in: −2 = 𝑎(0 + 1)(0 − 2), so 𝑎 = 1.
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = (𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 2)
10b) The zeroes are −3 and 2, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 2).
The y-intercept is (0,6), so we sub it in: 6 = 𝑎(0 + 3)(0 − 2), so 𝑎 = −1.
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = −(𝑥 + 3)(𝑥 − 2)
10c) The zeroes are −2 and 4, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 4).
The y-intercept is (0, −24), so we sub it in: −24 = 𝑎(0 + 2)(0 − 4), so 𝑎 = 3.
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = 3(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 4)
10d) The zeroes are −2 and 2, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 2).
1
The y-intercept is (0,2), so we sub it in: 2 = 𝑎(0 + 2)(0 − 2), so 𝑎 = − 2.
1
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = − 2 (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 2)
11a) The zeroes are 1 and 3, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 − 3).
The y-intercept is (0,6), so we sub it in: 6 = 𝑎(0 − 1)(0 − 3), so 𝑎 = 2.
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = 2(𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 − 3)
11b) The zeroes are −2 and 1, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 1).
The y-intercept is (0,4), so we sub it in: 4 = 𝑎(0 + 2)(0 − 1), so 𝑎 = −2.
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = −2(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 1)
11c) The zeroes are −1 and 5, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 5).
The y-intercept is (0,15), so we sub it in: 15 = 𝑎(0 + 1)(0 − 5), so 𝑎 = −3
Thus the equation is 𝑦 = −3(𝑥 + 1)(𝑥 − 5)
11d) The zeroes are −2 and −4, so the equation has the form 𝑦 = 𝑎(𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 + 4).
1
The y-intercept is (0,2), so we sub it in: 2 = 𝑎(0 + 2)(0 + 4), so 𝑎 = 4.

Vertex at 𝑓 (8) = − (2 − 3) (8 − 1) = 16
14a) Expanding the equation shows that 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 − 10𝑎𝑥 + 16𝑎.

Thus 𝑎 = 3 and 𝑦 = 3(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 8)
14b) Expanding the equation shows that 𝑦 = 𝑎𝑥 2 − 10𝑎𝑥 + 16𝑎.
Thus 𝑎 = −1 and 𝑦 = −(𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 8)
2+8
14c) The midpoint of the zeroes 𝑥 = 2 = 5.
The y-value of the vertex −12 = 𝑎(5 − 2)(5 − 8) = −9𝑎

−20 = 𝑎(1 − 2)(1 − 8) = 7𝑎
20 20
Thus 𝑎 = − 7 and 𝑦 = − 7 (𝑥 − 2)(𝑥 − 8)
15a) 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 8 = (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 − 4) so the zeroes are at −2 and 4

Solutions to Exercise 3I
1a
Yes, it is a function. It passes the vertical line test because at any certain time the
tide has exactly one corresponding height.
1b
No, it does not pass the horizontal line test. Therefore, the function is one-to-
many. For example, the tide reaches 4ft three times in the given 24-hour-interval.
1c
The graph starts at 22:00 one day and then finishes at 22:00 the other day.
1d
The tide height is approximately 2.75ft at 6am and 3.5ft at 5pm.
1ei
The tide height was 3ft at 22:00, 06:30, 11:00, 16:00 in the given 24-hour-
interval.
1eii
The tide height was 2ft at 23:00, 05:00, 13:20 in the given 24-hour-interval.
1eiii
The tide height had not reached 6ft in the given 24-hour-interval.
1eiv
𝑘 can be any height (ℎ) in the given 24-hour-interval. Thus, it can be said that
the solution set has 0 elements when ℎ = 6ft and 4 elements when ℎ = 3ft.
Therefore, the solution set can have 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 elements.
2a
The graph is a function because all the values on the 𝑥-axis have exactly one
corresponding value on the 𝑦-axis, which means the temperature was measured
at any given time. The function is many-to-one because it does not pass the
horizontal line test. For example, the temperature was measured 5° C five times.
2b
The temperature at 6:00am on the second day corresponds to the 𝑦-coordinate
of the point (30, 𝑦). Therefore, it is approximately 1° C.
2c
The temperature was 20° C at 15:00 and 18:00 the first day and 8° C at 01:00am,
09:00am and 22:00 the first day.
2d
as 𝑘 varies, the solution set can have 0,1,2,3,4,5 elements because for example
𝑓(𝑥) = 21 is never measured and 𝑓(𝑥) = 5 is measured 5 times.
3ai
Does not pass the vertical line test but passes the horizontal line test.
3aii
Does not pass the vertical line test and the horizontal line test.
3aiii
Third graph passes the vertical line test but does not pass the horizontal line test.
3aiv
Does not pass the vertical line test and the horizontal line test.

Fifth graph passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test.

Does not pass the vertical line test but passes the horizontal line test.

Because the points (7,2) and (7, −4) satisfy the equation, it can be said that 𝑦
fails the vertical line test. Because the points (0,3) and (6,3) satisfy the equation,
it can be said that 𝑦 fails the horizontal line test. Since y fails both tests, 𝑦 is
many-to-many.
7b
Because the points (√2,√4.5) and (√2,−√4.5) satisfy the equation, it can be said
that 𝑦 fails the vertical line test. Because the points (−√2,√4.5)and (√2,√4.5)
satisfy the equation, it can be said that 𝑦 fails the horizontal line test. Since 𝑦 fails
both tests, 𝑦 is many-to-many.
7c
Because the points (√2,1) and (√2,-1) satisfy the equation, it can be said that 𝑦
fails the vertical line test. Because the points (−√2,1) and (√2,1) satisfy the
equation, it can be said that 𝑦 fails the horizontal line test. Since y fails both tests,
𝑦 is many-to-many.
8a
This data should be classified as many-to-many because the number of doctors
in Australia is less than the number of all people living in Australia, thus at least
two people may have visited the same doctor. Moreover, one person may have
visited more than one doctor.
8b
Yes it changes the answer because the last doctor that a person visited is a one-
to-one relationship. This is because, a doctor does not examine two patients at a
time and one patient does not see more than a doctor at a time.

9a
This relationship can be one-to-one if there are no students with the same
preferred name and can be many-to-one if at least two students have the same
preferred name.
9b
If it was known that no two people have the same preferred name, then there
would be one and only one answer to the question.
Likewise, if it was known that there were at least two people with the same
preferred name, then there would be one and only one answer to the question.
10a
If the dancer turns clockwise, then north-to-east is 90°.

If the dancer turns clockwise and spins 90° more then a round, then north-east-
south-west-north would be one revolution which is 360° and an additional turn
of 90° in the clockwise direction would result in 360 + 90 = 450°.
If the dancer turns counter-clockwise, then north-west-south-east would be
270°.
10b
This relation is one-to-many because east on the x-axis would be related to 90°
and 450° clockwise turns.
10c
This relation is many-to-one because spins of 90° and 450° clockwise would
point the same direction.
11a
This relation is many-to-many because in a flat in which 4 people live, any two
can be co-habitants of the other two.
11b
If it was known that only two people were living in each flat, then the
relationship would be one-to-one.
11c
In that case, there would not be a relation.

This is a function because everyone has a place of birth. However, the relation
may be one-to-one (if no one has the same birthplace) or many-to-one (if there
are some people who were born in the same city).
21b
If no one has the same birthplace, then the relation is one-to-one.
