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 :)

Calculate the cost of manufacturing a standard cereal box if cardboard costs $0.05 per square inch.
leonid [27]
The volume of the box in this problem doesn't really matter, considering that a cereal box is hollow. Assuming the surface area is 174 inches², then you can simply multiply 0.05 x 174, which is 8.7. Then put that number in the form of money to get $8.70. (seems a bit pricey for one cereal box to me ;P)

This is hard to answer since I haven’t been through this situation, but I do recommend having a calm serious talk about your feelings, if he sees how serious and passionate you are about this, he may consider giving it a go.

I hope this was helpful, good luck
