we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx
so
we have
a) for x=1 y=0.50--------> y/x=0.50/1------> 0.50
b) for x=2 y=1--------> y/x=1/2-------> 0.50
c) for x=3 y=1.50--------> y/x=1.50/3-----> 0.50
d) for x=5 y=2.50--------> y/x=2.50/5----> 0.50
the value of k is equal to 0.50
so
<span>the relationship forms a direct variation. </span>
the equation is
y=0.50*x
Verify
for x=1
y=0.50*(1)------> y=0.50-----> is correct
for x=2
y=0.50*(2)------> y=1.00-----> is correct
for x=3
y=0.50*(3)------> y=1.50-----> is correct
for x=5
y=0.50*(5)------> y=2.50-----> is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of cookies = 4250
butter cookies, b
Almond cookies, a
Chocolate cookies, c
It made 715 more butter cookies than
almond cookies
b = a + 715
It made 5 times as many chocolate cookies as almond
5a = c
Total amount of cookies
= a + b + c
= a + (a+715) + (5a)
= 7a + 715
7a + 715 = 4250
7a = 4250-715
a = 3535 / 7
a = 505
c = 5a
= 5 (505)
= 2525
The factory make 2525 chocolate cookies.
Solve for c by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Exact form: c = -4/9, 2
Decimal form: c = -.4, 2
Answer:
To determine the exponential growth of Michelle's tree at 12 years, taking into account that it measures 7 feet and grows 14% annually, the following calculation must be performed:
X = 7 x (1 + 0.14) 12
X = 33.7
Thus, in 12 years, the height of Michelle's tree will be 33.7 feet. In turn, the tree of Tara will measure 58 feet at the same time.
The first time Michelle's tree surpasses Tara's will be at age 20, when Michelle's tree will measure 96.2 feet (X = 7 x (1 + 0.14) 20), while Tara's tree will measure 90 feet.
