Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots. The first five triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6,

10, and 15. Is there a direct variation between a triangular number and its position in the sequence? Explain your reasoning.

direct variation is y = kx  where y  would be the value of the number and x would be its position in the sequence, k is a constant 


so for consecutive values y/x would be a constant k 

In this case its not true becuse for example  3/1 = 3 and 6/3 = 2 


so there is no direct variation here.

<span>A direct variation means proportionality. Triangular numbers are quadratic in n. T(n)=n(n+1)/2. So no.</span>

X + 3 = -1 Prove x<br> Need help I need to see work. Don’t understand this problem.
raketka [301]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

X needs to be a number that when 3 is added to it, becomes -1. So, adding 3 to -4 gives you -1, therefore, x=-4. Hope this helped!

Make a table of values and create a line of best fit
Anni [7]
<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Hello! remember you have to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here I'll explain this in a general way assuming the following table:

\begin{array}{cc}x & y\\0 & 0\\1 & 2\\2 & 4\\3 & 6\\4 & 8\\5 & 10\end{array}

As you can see, x increases in steps of 1 units. So let's check the difference in y:

\bullet \ \text{From x=0 to x=1} \\ \\ \Delta y=2-0=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=1 to x=2} \\ \\ \Delta y=4-2=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=2 to x=3} \\ \\ \Delta y=6-4=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=3 to x=4} \\ \\ \Delta y=8-6=2 \\ \\ \\ \bullet \ \text{From x=4 to x=5} \\ \\ \Delta y=10-8=2

So we have a constant difference and we can conclude the table represents a line. Since the line passes through then y is directly proportional to x, so we can write:

y=kx \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ k \ is \ constant \ of \ proportionality \ or \ the \ slope

Then:

k=\frac{2-0}{1-0}=2

Finally, the equation of the line is:

\boxed{y=2x}
