Answer: neither direct variation nor inverse variation.


Explanation:


1) The relation between two variables, y and x, is a direct variation if and only if the quotient between them, y/x, is constant. This is: y / x = k or, equivalently, y = kx.


Note that if y / x is constant, x / y is also constant.


In a direct variation, when x increases, y increases, and when x decreases, y decreases.


2) The relation between two variables, y and x, is an inverse variation if and only if their product, y×x is constant. This is: y × x = k or, equivalently y = k /x or x = k / y.


In an inverse variation when one of the variables increases the other decreases.


3) Writhe the given table and study whether the conditions for direct or inverse variation are met:

x      y              y/x                             y×x

-6    -72           -72/(-6) = 12             (-6)(-72) = 432

-4    -47           -47 / (-4) = 11.75       (-4)(-47) = 188

-3    -36           -36 / (-3) = 12           (-3)(-36) = 108

1       12             12 / 1 = 12                (1)(12) = 12


Conclusions;


a) Since neither y / x nor y×x have the same result for every pair, the relation is neither direct nor inverse.


b) Note that if the third pair were (-4, -48) instead of (-4, -47), y / x would be 12, which make a direct variation. In this case the function that modeled it would be:

         y = 12x.

How many times greater is 1,000,000 than 1,000?that is how many groups of 1 thousand are there in 1 million
fredd [130]

1,000,000 is 1,000 times greater then 1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 1,000x1,000 you'll get an answer of 1,000,000

Therefore, 1,000,000 is going to be 1,000 times greater

What is the smallest integer that can be divided by the product of a prime number and 7 while yielding a prime number?
frozen [14]
Short Answer 28
If I'm reading this correctly it is 28.
2 is a prime number.
7 is also a prime

They are multiplied together to give 2*7 = 14

When you divide 28/14 you get 2 which is the smallest prime.

Which function in vertex form is equivalent to f(x) = 4 + x2 – 2x?
Alexus [3.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

option A

f(x) = (x – 1)2 + 3

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Given in the question a function,

f(x) = 4 + x² – 2x

Step 1

f(x) = 4 + x² – 2x

here a = 1

        b = -2

        c = 4

Step 2

x = -b/2a

h = -(-2)/2(1)

h = 2/2

h = 1

Step 3

Find k

k = 4 + 1² – 2(1)

k = 3

Step 4

To convert a quadratic from y = ax² + bx + c form to vertex form,

y = a(x - h)²+ k

y = 1(x - 1)² + 3

y = (x - 1)² + 3

What is the prime
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

It would be E.  

Step-by-step explanation:

30,030 can be divided into 10010 and 3. 10010 can be divided into 10 and 1001. 10 can be divided into 2 and 5, while 1001 can be divided into 13 and 77. 77 can divided into 7 and 11. This leads the prime factorization to be E, as it is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13.
