Which equation does NOT represent direct variation? A. Y=x/21 B. y/x=5/8 C. y-3= 3x D. y-5x=0

The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear. I believe the answer is C. Hope I helped!

Direct variation means y=kx no other terms so the answer is c because y= 3x+3

For which inequality would x = 8 not be a solution?4x + 3 > 09x - 5 < 100x + 4 ≤ 1072 ÷ x ≥ 4

galina1969 [7]

Given:

Given the inequalities:4

$\begin{gathered} 4x+3>0 \\ 9x-5$

Required: Identify the inequality in which x = 8 is a solution.

Explanation:

Substitute 8 for x in each inequality and check whether it satisfies the inequality.

Consider 4x + 3 > 0.

$4\cdot8+3=35>0$

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality 4x + 3 > 0.

Consider 9x - 5 < 100.

$9\cdot8-5=67$

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality 9x - 5 < 100.

Consider x + 4 ≤ 10.

$8+4=12>10$

So, x = 8 not satisfies the inequality.

Consider 72 ÷ x ≥ 4.

$72\div8=9\ge4$

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality.

Final Answer: The inequality in which x = 8 is not a solution is x + 4 ≤ 10.

there are 120 seats in the balcony of theatre .if this 1/5 of the total seats, what's the total number of seats in the theater

natka813 [3]

Answer:

600 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

We know there is 120 seats on a balcony and that is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the total seats, we want to find the total number of seats so,

120 seats = $\frac{1}{5}$

We know that a whole fraction sums to 1 so for example $\frac{1}{5} +\frac{4}{5} =\frac{5}{5} =1$

120 seats = $\frac{1}{5}$

Multiply both sides to make it a whole fraction

600 seats = $\frac{5}{5} =1$

So if there is 120 seats and that number is only $\frac{1}{5}$ of the total number of seats then the total number of seats is 600

The perimeter of a rectangle is 300 feet. The width of the rectangle is 10 feet more than the length. What is the width of the r

gavmur [86]

300 = 2(x + x + 10)
300 = 2(2x +10)
300 = 4x + 20
4x = 280
x = 70
x + 10 = 80
width = 80ft

What is the 38th term of 459,450,441,..

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The 38th term of 459,450,441,.. will be:

$a_{13}=351$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

$459,450,441,..$

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference 'd' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d$

computing the differences of all the adjacent terms

$450-459=-9,\:\quad \:441-450=-9$

$d=-9$

The first element of the sequence is

$a_1=459$

so the nth term will be

$a_n=-9\left(n-1\right)+459$

$a_n=-9n+468$

Putting n=38 to find the 38th term

$a_n=-9n+468$

$a_{13}=-9\left(13\right)+468$

$a_{13}=-117+468$

$a_{13}=351$

Therefore, the 38th term of 459,450,441,.. will be:

$a_{13}=351$
