While on a road trip, Steve drove 300 miles in 5 hours. After stopping for gas, he drove an additional 120 miles in 2 hours. Doe

s this situation represent a direct variation? If so, what are the independent and dependent variables?
A.
Yes, this is direct variation. Miles driven is the independent variable, and time is the dependent variable.
B.
Yes, this is direct variation. Time is the independent variable, and miles driven is the dependent variable.
C.
Yes, this is direct variation. However, because Steve stopped, the variables cannot be determined.
D.
This is not a direct variation because the data would not go through the origin.

Answer:

B.   Yes, this is direct variation. Time is the independent variable, and miles driven is the dependent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct variation, when the independent variable increase the dependent variable also increases. In this case, the independent variable is the time (time is always independent) and the miles driven by Steve is the dependent variable. This means, the miles driven increase as time pass.

Need help badly don’t have answer to this problem.
NikAS [45]
There are a couple of ways to tackle this one, using the 45-45-90 rule or just using the pythagorean theore, let's use the pythagorean theorem.

the angle at A is 45°, and its opposite side is BC, the angle at C is 45° as well, and its opposite side is AB, well, the angles are the same, thus BC = AB.

hmmm le'ts call hmmm ohh hmmm say z, thus BC = AB = z.

\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2 \implies (6\sqrt{2})^2=z^2+z^2
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=\stackrel{6\sqrt{2}}{hypotenuse}\\
a=\stackrel{z}{adjacent}\\
b=\stackrel{z}{opposite}\\
\end{cases}\\\\\\ 6^2(\sqrt{2})^2=2z^2\implies 36(2)=2z^2\implies \cfrac{36(2)}{2}=z^2\implies 36=z^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{36}=z\implies 6=z

The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. The long sides of the same rectangle are three less than an unknown
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The first student is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information there is already 4 inches on the rectangle. 13 x2 = 26. 26+4=30. For student two if the unknown number was 10 it would not work because the longest side is 3 less then the unknown number. 10-3=7. 7x2=14. 14+4= 28<30

Asap please help! and explain how you got the answer!
Inessa [10]

To start to solve this problem we start by observing what information there is. We need y, to find y we have to know x. We need x to find y because all the angles in a triangle add up to 180. If we find x we can subtract the angles we know and get y. To find x we look and see that it is on a straight line, and on the other side of the line is 100. We know that a straight line is 180 degrees so we subtract 100 from 180 to get x. We now know x is 80, so now we minus 89 and 45 from 180. We get 55. This means that y is 55.

Hope this helps! Please make me the brainliest, it’s not necessary but appreciated, I put a lot of effort and research into my answers. Have a good day, stay safe and stay healthy.
