Answer:

No, it is not a proportional relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of guest and y represents the number of pounds of chicken made,

Given,

The number of pounds of chicken for each guest = 1,

So, the number of pounds for x guests = x,

Also, the number of pounds already made = \frac{8}{9}

Thus, the total pounds of chicken,

y=\frac{8}{9}+x

Since, a relation is called proportional if the variables are directly proportional,

That is, the line obtained by the relation passes through the origin,

Since, if x = 0, y = 0,

0=\frac{8}{9}+0

∴ Line y=\frac{8}{9}+x does not pass through the origin.

Hence, given relation is not proportional.

No, this rel. is not proportional because of the addition involved ("plus 1 lb for each guest").

A proportional rel. features mult. only.

The function f(x) = x2 is translated 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

B. g(x)=(x+7)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is F(x)= a(x-h)^2+k

a is the reflection

h and k are the vertex (x,y) = (h,k)

in this case there is no shrink or stretch (a)

if it is translating left or right it is "h". In this case it is translated left so its -7.  However if you look at vertex form it is "x-h" so -7-7= +7

If it translating up or down it is "K".  In this case it is translated down so its -3.  

If it was translated up or right then its positive.  If it was translated down or left its negative.

After you figure out what h and k are then you just plug it in.  h=-7, k=-3

so the answer in vertex form is, g(x)=(x+7)^2-3

Four students spent $9.40 on school lunch.at this rate,predict the amount 10 students would spend on the same school lunch
Tom [10]
You will need to know how much each lunch cost
so
9.40  <span>÷ 4  =  2.35
so each  lunch cost 2.35 dollars

now we need to find out how much it will cost for 10 lunches

10 x 2.35 = 23.5

so for 10 lunches it will cost 23.5</span>
