Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) plug in 3 for y and 9 for x in the direct variation formula, which is y = kx

3 = k(9)

Step 2) Solve for k

3 = k(9) (Divide by 9 on both sides)

3/9 = k (Now simplify 3/9)

1/3 = k. So k = 1/3

*just FYI: “k” is the constant of variation.

Step 3) use the equation y = kx and plug in 1/3 for k

y = 1/3x

Step 4) using the equation y = 1/3x, plug in 21 for x.

y = 1/3(21) (1/3*21 is the same as 21/3)

y = 21/3 (21/3 = 7)

y = 7. So that’s you’re answer! When x=21, y=7 because 7 is 1/3 of 21!

Hope this helps! My best wishes to you as you go through school!

This table shows the number of customers who have come in to Trent’s Hobby Shop each day since he opened the doors.
Alona [7]

Since both the input and the output assume only integer values, the function is classified as discrete.

<h3>What are continuous and discrete variables?</h3>

  • Continuous variables: Can assume decimal values, hence they are represented by rational numbers.
  • Discrete variables: Assume only countable values, such as 1, 2, 3, …, hence they are represented by whole numbers, or even integers if it can be negative.

In this problem, all values on the table assume only integer values, hence the function is classified as discrete.
