The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.
Answer: Hello mate!
A direct variation implies that, if y is the dependent variable that varies with the variable x; then: y = k*x where k is a real number.
An inverse variation has the form y = k/x where also k is a real number.
them, if we define s as the hours that Bob spends studying, and b as the hours that he spends playing baseball, then the equation that represents the score is:
Score(s,b) = k*s/b
we know that if s = 6, and b = 7, then the score is 72; with this information, we could obtain the value of the constant k.
score(6,7) = 72 =k*6/7 = k*
then k = 72*(7/6) = 61.7
now if s = 4 and b = 6, the score that he should expect is:
score( 4, 6) = 61.7*(4/6) = 41
