Answer: Yes, y does vary directly with x.
Constant of variation = 1/4
The function rule is y = (1/4)x
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.
If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
Solving for k gets us k = y/x
For each row, divide the y value over the x value
- row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
- row two: k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
- row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25
Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.
So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x
Partial Answer:
For #10 the solutions are 2 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solutions for an equation can be x-intercepts, or where it touches the x or horizontal line. The equation in #10 touches the x line at 2 and 5.
Let x = the number of hours Eva needs to complete the job
and y = the number of hours Emily needs to complete the job
x = 6
1/x + 1/y = 1/4
(The amount of work Eva does in 1 hr + the amount of work Emily does in 1 hr should equal 1/4 of the total work)
1/6 + 1/y = 1/4
1/y = 1/12
y = 12 hours
Emily would take 12 hours to do it by herself.
