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:

$f(x)=\left \{\begin{array}{rl}26^{\frac{k}{2}}&\text{for k even}\\26^{\frac{k+1}{2}}&\text{for k odd}\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the length of the palindrome can be any possible sequence of the 26 available letters. The other half is constrained to be the reverse of the same sequence. For odd length sequences, the middle letter can be any of the 26.

So, for k even, the number of palindromes is 26^(k/2). For k odd, the number is 26·26^((k-1)/2) = 26^)((k+1)/2).

Use the figure to find the measure of angle 1. *

QveST [7]

Answer: angle 1 = 110 degrees

This is because angle 1 and the red 110 degree angle are corresponding angles.

They correspond to one another due to the fact they are both in the southwest corner of each 4-corner angle configuration (which is the result of crossing two lines)

Corresponding angles are congruent only when we have parallel lines like this.

How do you rearrange formulae???

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

make use of the properties of equality of of inverse functions and operations

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, each of the operations and functions we study has an inverse. As a rule, in any "solve for ..." situation, you want to "undo" the operations and functions performed on the variable of interest. You can use the Order of Operations to determine the order those operations are performed, then undo them in reverse order.

Trivial example:

Solve x + 3 = 5 for x. We observe that the variable x has had 3 added to it. We "undo" the addition of 3 by adding its opposite, -3. The properties of equality require that we add this value to both sides of the equation:

x +3 -3 = 5 -3

x = 2 . . . . . after simplification

Rearranging also involves combining terms, finding a common denominator, rationalizing denominators, and similar algebraic operations. These sorts of operations are performed on variables and expressions in virtually the same way they are performed on numbers.

Less trivial example:

Suppose we have the equation of a circle, and we want to rearrange it to find an expression for y.

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

We observe that y has k subtracted, the result is squared, and an x-term is added. Undoing these in reverse order means we first subtract the x-term, then take the square root, and finally add k.

(y -k)^2 = r^2 -(x -h)^2 . . . . . . we subtracted the x-term from both sides

y -k = √(r^2 -(x -h)^2) . . . . . . and took the square root. Notice we have retained only the positive square root, so the bottom half of the circle will go missing from our final equation.

y = k + √(r^2 -(x -h)^2) . . . . . finally, we added k

This is the formula for a circle rearranged to find y in terms of x. The value of y is that associated with the top half of the circle. If we want the bottom half, we must negate the square root:

y = k - √(r^2 -(x -h)^2) . . . . . . formula rearranged to give the bottom half

Note that the root function is used to "undo" the operation of raising to a power. As we said, each of the operations we study in algebra has its "undo". It is useful to pay attention to the inverse operation associated with any new operation or function you learn about. (trig functions, log functions, exponentiation come to mind)
