Question 147731: Determine whether the equation defines y as a function of x.
xy+5y=1
a)y is a function of x
b)y is not a function of x Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! xy+5y=1
y(x+5)=1
y=1/(x+5)
y is a function of x.
Each element of the domain of x is matched with no more than one element in the range of y. -5 is not in the domain of x.
