Hai there!

First, let's use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this!)

Keep the first fraction the same, in this case, 1/2
Change the sign from division to multiplication
Flip the second fraction, or 3/8, to get it's reciprocal, or 8/3.

The new equation should look like this:

1/2 * 8/3
 
Now multiply straight across like you normally would, like so:

1 * 8 = 8
2 * 3 = 6

The new fraction is 8/6. Simplify by dividing both sides by 2 and turning it into a mixed fraction:

8 / 2 = 4
6 / 2 = 3

4/3 = 1 1/3

The solution to 1/2 / 3/8 is 4/3 or 1 1/3. I hope this helped you :)

Determine if the table shows a linear or an exponential function​
____ [38]

Answer:

<em>The table shows an exponential function</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear vs Exponential Functions</u>

A linear function is written as:

y=mx+b

where m and b are constants.

If a table contains a linear function, then for each pair of ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of m must be constant.

The slope can be calculated as:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

An exponential function is written as:

y=y_o.r^x

Where r is the ratio and yo is a constant.

If a table contains an exponential function, for two ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), the value of r must be constant.

The ratio can be calculated as:

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[x2-x1]{\frac{y2}{y1}}

Calculate the slope for (0,4) and (1,2):

\displaystyle m=\frac{2-4}{1-0}=-2

Calculate the slope for (1,2) and (2,1):

\displaystyle m=\frac{1-2}{2-1}=-1

Since the slope is not the same, the function is not linear.

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (1,2)

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[1-0]{\frac{1}{2}}

The radical of index 1 is simply equal to its argument:

\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}

Now calculate the ratio for (0,4) and (2,1)

\displaystyle r=\sqrt[2-0]{\frac{1}{4}}

\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}

\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{2}

Testing other points we'll find the same ratio, thus the table is an exponential function
