Part 1.1· 2 steps

Sketch the graph of x2+y3=1\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1

  1. Identify the intercepts.

    The equation is in the intercept form xa+yb=1\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1, where aa is the x-intercept and bb is the y-intercept.
    From the given equation, a=2a = 2 and b=3b = 3.
    So, the x-intercept is (2,0)(2, 0) and the y-intercept is (0,3)(0, 3).

  2. Describe the sketch.

    To sketch the graph, plot the x-intercept at (2,0)(2, 0) on the x-axis and the y-intercept at (0,3)(0, 3) on the y-axis. Then, draw a straight line connecting these two points.
    The graph is a straight line passing through (2,0)(2, 0) and (0,3)(0, 3).

Part 1.2· 2 steps

Is the graph in Q1.1 a function or a relation?

  1. Analyze the equation.

    The equation x2+y3=1\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1 can be rewritten to solve for yy:

    y3=1−x2\frac{y}{3} = 1 - \frac{x}{2} y=3(1−x2)y = 3 \left(1 - \frac{x}{2}\right) y=3−32xy = 3 - \frac{3}{2}x

    This is a linear equation in the form y=mx+cy = mx + c.

  2. Determine if it's a function or relation.

    For every input value of xx, there is exactly one output value of yy. This means the graph passes the vertical line test.
    Therefore, the graph is a function.

Part 1.3· 2 steps

Is the graph in Q1.1 continuous?

  1. Consider the nature of the graph.

    The graph of x2+y3=1\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 1 is a straight line.

  2. Determine continuity.

    A straight line can be drawn without lifting the pen, meaning there are no breaks, jumps, or holes in the graph.
    Therefore, the graph is continuous.
