So, I didn't quite understand your question clearly, but I'll try my best to answer it.

So, the first question is quite simple: Did the runner have a % decrease in his time or an increase.
Well, 7:45 is minor than 5:51. So, his time decreased.

2nd question:
The percent of change. Well, first things first 7:45 has 2 different units, wich are minutes and seconds, I suppose. Same goes for 5:51.
So let's put everything in seconds. multiply both the 7 and 5 for 60(for every minute has 60 seconds.)

That means:
7*60= 420+45 = 465.
5*60=300+51=351.

Now, let's do the math itself:
465 -> 100%
351 -> x%
Is equal to about 75,5%
How much did it decrease then?
(75,5-100)%= 24,5%, approximately

What is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship?

defon

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ K}}&\cdot&x
\\ \\
&& y={{ K }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{cases}
y=4\\
x=12
\end{cases}\implies y=Kx\implies 4=K\cdot 12$

solve for "K", to see what "K" is, or the "constant of variation",
once you found K, plug it back in y=Kx, and that's the equation

Which equation can be solved using the expression StartFraction negative 3 plus-or-minus StartRoot (3) squared + 4 (10) (2) EndR

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: B. 2 = 3x + 10x2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the concept of quadratic equations; We required to find the type of equation that can be solved using the model that has been used to solve the equation such that the answer is:

[-3+-sqrt(3^2+4(10)(2))]/(2(10))

The formual that was applied here was a quadratic formula given by:

x=[-b+\-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

whereby from the our substituted values above,

a=10,b=3 and c=-2

such that the quadratic equation will be:

10x^2+3x-2
