Which equation does not represent a direct variation?

Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.

A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:

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.

Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.

This leaves B and C. 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.

This leaves C as the odd one out.

I hope this helps you :)

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

30

Step-by-step explanation:

third side is the hypotenuse since it is opposite to 90 degree.

using pythagoras theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

24^2 + 18^2 = c^2

576 + 324 = c^2

900 = c^2

\sqrt{900} = c

30 = c

therefore third side is 30.
