Do the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? write an equation to model the data in the table. x 1 2 5 10

y 40 20 8 4

a. Direct variation; y=40x
b. Direct variation; y=(1/40)x
c. Inverse variation; xy=40
d. Inverse variation; xy=1/40

I feel so stupid for not knowing the answer, please explain it to me.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: x =   1,  2, 5, 10
y = 40,20, 8,   4

a) y = 40x
y = 40(1) = 40   ; y = 40(2) = 80 ;
y = 40(5) = 200 ; y = 40(10) = 400

b) y = (1/40)x ;
y = (1/40)1 = 1/40 ; y = (1/40)2 = 1/20 ;
y = (1/40)5 = 1/8   ; y =(1/40)10 = 1/4

c) xy = 40 ⇒ y = 40/x    
y = 40/1 = 40 ; y = 40/2 = 20
y = 40/5 = 8   ; y = 40/10 = 4

Inverse variation. Choice C. xy = 40  is the correct answer.

What is the quotient (3x4 – 4x2 + 8x – 1) ÷ (x – 2)?

Answers

To find the quotient of (3x^4 – 4x^2 + 8x – 1) ÷ (x – 2), First: divide 3x^4 by x to get 3x^3, then multiply 3x^3 to x - 2 to get 3x^4 - 6x^3 and subtract 3x^4 - 6x^3 from 3x^4 – 4x^2 + 8x – 1 to get 6x^3 - 4x^2 + 8x - 1 Next: divide 6x^3 by x to get 6x^2, then multiply 6x^2 to x - 2 to get 6x^3 - 12x^2 and subtract 6x^3 - 12x^2 from 6x^3 - 4x^2 + 8x - 1 to get 8x^2 + 8x - 1 Next: divide 8x^2 by x to get 8x, then multiply 8x to x - 2 to get 8x^2 - 16x and subtract 8x^2 - 16x from 8x^2 + 8x - 1 to get 24x - 1 Finally: divide 24x by x to get 24, then multiply 24 to x - 2 to get 24x - 48 and subtract 24x - 48 from 24x - 1 to get 47. Thus, (3x^4 – 4x^2 + 8x – 1) ÷ (x – 2) = 3x^3 + 6x^2 + 8x + 24 Remainder 47

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 338 m.If the width of the garden is 74 m, what is its length?

Answers

Answer:

l=95

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is all the sides add up. So the equation if you know two of the sides, it should be: 338=(2*74)+(2*l)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter is 2w plus 2l

so 338 = 74(2)+2l

338 = 148+2l

190=2l

l=95

your length would be 95 m

Which function in vertex form is equivalent to f(x) = 4 + x2 – 2x?

Answers

The question is asking us to find which function in the vertex form is equivalent to f ( x ) = 4 + x^2 - 2 x. We have to add 1 to make a squared binomial ( and also to subtract 1 ). f ( x ) = ( x^2 - 2 x + 1 ) - 1 + 4 = ( x - 1 )^2 + 3. Then we have the vertex point ( 1, 3 ). Answer: The function in vertex form is: f ( x ) = ( x - 1 ) ^2 + 3.

Answer:

Vertex form of the function will be f(x) = (x - 1)² + 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a quadratic function is given by f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) is the vertex of the given parabola.

Now we will convert the function in the vertex form.

f(x) = x² - 2x + 1 + 3

     = (x - 1)² + 3

Therefore, the vertex form of the function will be f(x) = (x - 1)² + 3

and the vertex will be (1, 3).

A polynomial function has a root of -5 with multiplicity 3, a root of 1 with multiplicity of 2, and a root of 3 with multiplicity 7. If the function has a negative leading coefficient and is of even degree which statement about the graph is true?

a) function is positive on (-∞,-5)
b) fuction is negative on (-5,3)
c) function is positive on (-∞,1)
d) function is negative on (3,∞)​

Answers

Answer:

  d)  function is negative on (3,∞)​

Step-by-step explanation:

The even degree and negative leading coefficient tell you that the function is negative as x ⇒ ±∞. (Selections A and C cannot be correct.)

The odd multiplicity tells you the function crosses the x-axis at x=-5 and x=3, so will be non-negative between those values. (Selection B cannot be correct.)

The function is negative on (3, ∞).

Answer:

The graph of the function is positive on (-co, -5).

The graph of the function is negative on (3,co).

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the roots are in: -5, 1 and 3.

and after 3, the graph is in the negative side, so between 1 and 3 the graph must be in the positive side, between -5 and 1 the graph must be in the negative side, and  between -inifinity and -5 the graph must be in the positive side:

So the statements that are true are:

The graph of the function is positive on (-co, -5).

The graph of the function is negative on (3,co).
