If an equation is a direct variation, then there is always something added or subtracted from the x term

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement:

"If an equation is a direct variation, then there is always something added or subtracted from the x term."

Consider 2 variables 'x' and 'y' such that 'y' varies directly with 'x'. Therefore, if two variables have direct variation, then they are related as:

y=kx, where, 'k' is a constant of proportionality.

Now, in the above relation, the variable 'x' is multiplied by 'k' but nothing is added or subtracted from the 'x' term.

If something is added to the 'x' term, then the relation is a linear variation and not a direct variation.

Thus, the given statement is FALSE.

F(x)= x +4<br> g(x) = 3x<br> Work out the value of gf (5).
MrMuchimi

The value of gf(5) for the given two expressions is 135.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

f(x)= x +4

g(x) = 3x

Now, in order to find the value of gf(5), we will first find the value of gf.

Now, we will multiply these two expressions:

3x(x+4)

Now, the terms outside the brackets need to multiplied inside the bracket:

3x^{2} +12x

Now, we will put the value of x in this expression as 5 and solve the expression further by multiplication and addition:

3*5*5+12*5

75+60

135

Hence, the value of gf(5) for the given two expressions of f(x) and g(x) is 135.

Answer:

  x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

By AA similarity, ΔABD ~ ΔCDE. So, corresponding sides are proportional.

  AB/BD = CD/DE

  x/12 = 4/6

  x = 12(4/6)

  x = 8

Find the area of the regular octagon if the apothem is 4.2 and a side is 3.4 In. Round to the nearest whole number. A. 114 B. 57
Elena-2011 [213]
The area of the regular octagon is calculated as half of the product of the perimeter and the apothem (ap), using the formula of the area of the regular polygon.
 We have then:
 A = ((p) * (ap)) / 2
 Where,
 p: perimeter
 ap: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = ((8 * 3.4) * (4.2)) / 2
 A = 57.12 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the regular octagon is:
