Answer:

a. The graph has a constant of variation of 3, so it represents a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph and we are asked to find whether our given graph represents direct variation or not.

Since we know that a direct variation is an equation in slope-intercept form, which passes through origin (0,0) and constant of variation equals to the slope of the line.

Direct variation equation is in form: y=kx, where k= constant of variation.

Slope intercept equation of line is in form: y=mx+b, where m= slope and b= y-intercept.            

Let us find equation of our given line in slope-intercept form.

We can see from our given graph that our line passes through the origin, so y-intercept (b) equals zero.

Let us find slope of our given line.      

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{3-0}{1-0}  

m=\frac{3}{1}=3

Upon substituting m=3 and b=0 in slope intercept form of equation we will get: y=3x+0. Upon comparing our line with direct variation equation we can see that k=3, therefore, option a is the correct choice.

Answer:

x = 0.19 or x = -0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 7²-4x = 2

reordering the equation,

7x²-4x-2 = 0

Applying,

x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a..................... Equation 1

From the question,

Given: a = 7, b = -4, c = -2

Substitute these values into equation 1

x = [-4±√(-4²-(2×7×-2)]/(2×7)

x = [-4±√(16+28)]/14

x = (-4±√44)/14

Either

x = (-4+√44)/14

x = (-4+6.63)/14

x = 2.63/14

x = 0.19

or

x = (-4-√44)/14

x = (-4-6.63)/14

x = -10.63/14

x = -0.76

What number must you add to complete the square x^2+2x=9
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

+ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 2x = 9

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(1)x + 1² = 9 + 1²

(x + 1)² = 10
