Campers = y and counselors = x.....1 counselor to 5 campers

y = kx
k = y/x
k = 5/1

y = 5x

lets check..
y = 5x....lets say u have 2 counselors...sub in 2 for x
y = 5(2)
y = 10....so when there is 2 counselors, there are 10 campers

y = 5x...lets say u have 3 counselors...sub in 3 for x
y = 5(3)
y = 15...so when there are 3 counselors, there are 15 campers

2/10 reduces to 1/5
3/15 reduces to 1/5

so yes, this is a direct variation with ur equation being y = 5x

The square of a negative number is twenty-eight more than three times the negative number. Find the number.
MAXImum [283]
The number is x

it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero

x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative


x+4=0
x=-4
correct

the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check


the number is -4

If g(x) = 5x2^2 - 10x + 9 and h(x) = -3x3^3+ 5x - 6, find g(x) - h(x)?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

B)g(x) - h(x) =  3x^3 - 5x^2 - 15x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given functions are:

g(x) = 5x^2- 10x + 9 \\h(x) = -3x^3+ 5x - 6

Now, g(x) - h(x) is : 

(5x^2- 10x + 9)  - ( -3x^3+ 5x - 6)\\= 5x^2- 10x + 9 + 3x^3 - 5x + 6\\= 3x ^3 + 5x ^2+  (-10 x - 5 x) + (9 + 6)\\= 3x^3 - 5x^2 - 15x + 15

⇒(5x^2- 10x + 9)  - ( -3x^3+ 5x - 6) =  3x^3 - 5x^2 - 15x + 15

B) Hence, g(x) - h(x) =  3x^3 - 5x^2 - 15x + 15

Answer:

From top to bottom;

1,1,3,3

Step-by-step explanation:

mathematically, for an even function;

f(x) = f(-x)

what this mean is that;

f(-1) = f(1)

f(-3) = f(3)

f(-5) = f(5)

f(-6) = f(6)

so we have it that;

f(-1) = 1

f(-3) = 1

f(-5) = 3

f(-7) = 3
