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 :)

Blood pressure values are often reported to the nearest 5 mmHg (100, 105, 110, etc.). The actual blood pressure values for nine
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a) 117.4

b) 117.9

c) Option A)  When there is rounding or grouping, the median can be highly sensitive to small change

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set in the question:

108.6, 117.4, 128.4, 120.0, 103.7, 112.0, 98.3, 121.5, 123.2

Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}

n = 9

a) Median of the reported blood pressure values

Sorted Values: 98.3, 103.7, 108.6, 112.0, 117.4, 120.0, 121.5, 123.2, 128.4

Median =

\dfrac{9 + 1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term} = 117.4

b) New median of the reported values

Data: 108.6, 117.9, 128.4, 120.0, 103.7, 112.0, 98.3, 121.5, 123.2

Sorted Values: 98.3, 103.7, 108.6, 112.0, 117.9, 120.0, 121.5, 123.2, 128.4

New Median =

\dfrac{9 + 1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term} = 117.9

c) Since median is a position based descriptive statistics, a small change in values can bring a change in the median value as the order of the data may change.

Option A)  When there is rounding or grouping, the median can be highly sensitive to small change

Find 3rd and 5th form by using nth term formula tn=a+(n-1)d when tn=a+(n-1)d when a=2 and d=3.​
lawyer [7]

Answer:

t3 = 8, t5 = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

t3 = 2 + (3-1) × 3

t3 = 2 + (2) × 3

t3 = 2 + 6

t3 = 8

t5 = 2 + (5-1) × 3

t5 = 2 + (4) × 3

t5 = 2 + 12

t5 = 14

Please help me find the value of each variable in the parallelogram
seropon [69]

Answer:

K=10 H=65

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out K, you need to know that opposite angles are the same, so 5k is the same as 50, 50÷5= 10, so k=10

To work out H, you know that opposite angles are the same so 2h is the same as 130, 130÷2=65 so h=65
