Chapter 14, Problem 1RE

To determine

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RE

The given statement is $\underset{\_}{\text{false}}$.

Explanation of Solution

The given statement is, “To get the calculator display of the equation $2x^2+y^2=4$, let $y_1=\sqrt{4-2x^2}$.”

Note that, the given equation is a circle.

But only one equation is given to graph the function, which is not possible.

Inorder to obtain the entire curve, the equation, $y_2=-\sqrt{4-2x^2}$ is also required.

Thus, the given statement is $\underset{\_}{\text{false}}$.
