Does the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Write an equation to model the data in the tabl

e. x 2 4 8 12 y 4 2 1 2/3

The equation for the direct variation is y= kx (where k is contant of variation.)

This equation represent that if x will increase then y will also increase because it's k times x.

Where the equation for indirect variation is y=\frac{1}{k} x

By this equation if x will increase then y will decrease and vice versa.

The given data is :

x: 2 4 8 12

y: 4 2 1 2/3

Notice as x is increasing then y is decreasing. Like x has increased from 2 to 4 then y is decresing from 4 to 2 and so on.

So, the given data represent an indirect variation.

Factor completely 3x2 - 21.
VMariaS [17]
3x² - 21

Factor 3 from both terms:

3 (x² - 7)

To me, that's as far as you should need to go.  But if you want to get
completely carried away, you could go one step further, since you have
the difference of two squares:

3 (x + √7) (x - √7)

Of course, there's no end now, because the last binomial could be
considered another difference of two squares, so you'd have to
factor that too:

3 (x + √7) (√x + ⁴√7) (√x - ⁴√7)

but to me, this would be nonsense.

A stretched spring has a length of 12 inches when a weight of 2 lbs is attached to the spring. The same spring has a length of 1
Advocard [28]
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
