Answer:

y = 0.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (12, 9 ), then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{9}{12}$ = 0.75, so

y = 0.75x ← equation of variation

What is the adult to child ratio of 8:5 if 390 attend how many are children

AVprozaik [17]

1. 8+5=13

2. 13 x 3 x 10 = 13 x 30 = 390

Using the information above transform the ratio 8:5.

8 x 30 : 5 x 30

If you do this, you'll end up with the ratio:

240 : 150

This means that 240 adults attended whilst 150 children attended.

Prove that for all n in the naturals, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 3

DerKrebs [107]

By induction:

It's true for $n=1$ , since $1\cdot2\cdot3$ clearly contains a factor of 3.

Suppose it's true for $n=k$ , that $k(k+1)(k+2)$ is divisible by 3. Then

$(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)=\dfrac{k(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)}k=\dfrac{3m(k+3)}k$

where $m$ is an integer. This reduces to

$\dfrac{3m(k+3)}k=3m+9\dfrac mk$

and both terms are clearly multiples of 3. We know that $\dfrac mk$ is an integer since we had set $m=k(k+1)(k+2)$ previously, which implies $m$ is a multiple of $k$ . So the statement is true.
