Response
Question 1

Step1: Recall the definition of a function

A relation is a function if for every input \( x \), there is exactly one output \( y \). We can use the vertical line test (for equations in terms of \( x \) and \( y \)) or analyze the equations.

Step2: Analyze each option

  • Option (1): \( y = 2x + 4 \) is a linear equation. For every \( x \), there is one \( y \). So it's a function.
  • Option (2): \( y = x^2 - 4x + 3 \) is a quadratic equation. For every \( x \), there is one \( y \). So it's a function.
  • Option (3): \( x = 3y - 2 \) can be rewritten as \( y=\frac{x + 2}{3}\), which is a linear equation. For every \( x \), there is one \( y \). So it's a function.
  • Option (4): \( x=y^{2}+2x - 3\) can be rewritten as \(x-2x=y^{2}- 3\), i.e., \(-x=y^{2}-3\) or \(y^{2}=-x + 3\). For a given \( x \) (such that \(-x + 3\geq0\) or \(x\leq3\)), there are two values of \( y \) (positive and negative square roots). So it does not pass the vertical line test and is not a function.

Step1: Solve the absolute - value inequality \(|3x + 2|\lt1\)

The absolute - value inequality \(|a|\lt b\) (where \(b\gt0\)) is equivalent to \(-b\lt a\lt b\). So for \(|3x + 2|\lt1\), we have \(-1\lt3x + 2\lt1\).

Step2: Solve the compound inequality

First, solve the left - hand side: \(-1\lt3x + 2\)
Subtract 2 from both sides: \(-1-2\lt3x\), so \(-3\lt3x\), then divide by 3: \(-1\lt x\)

Then, solve the right - hand side: \(3x + 2\lt1\)
Subtract 2 from both sides: \(3x\lt1 - 2=-1\), then divide by 3: \(x\lt-\frac{1}{3}\)

So the solution is \(-1\lt x\lt-\frac{1}{3}\), which are all negative real numbers.

Step1: Recall the tangent - secant rule

If a tangent from an external point \(L\) touches a circle at \(G\) and a secant from \(L\) passes through the circle, intersecting the circle at \(D\) and \(B\) (with \(LD\) as the external segment and \(LB\) as the secant segment), then the square of the length of the tangent segment is equal to the product of the length of the external segment and the length of the entire secant segment. That is, \(LG^{2}=LD\times LB\). Let \(BD = x\). Then \(LB=LD + DB=4 + x\), \(LG = 8\) and \(LD = 4\).

Step2: Apply the tangent - secant formula

We know that \(LG^{2}=LD\times LB\). Substitute \(LG = 8\), \(LD = 4\) and \(LB=4 + x\) into the formula:
\(8^{2}=4\times(4 + x)\)
\(64 = 16+4x\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 16 from both sides: \(64-16=4x\)
\(48 = 4x\)
Divide both sides by 4: \(x = 12\)
