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.

Zielflug [23.3K]
The mean would be 58!! Basically what you’re doing to get the mean is adding all of the numbers together and dividing by how many you’re adding. In this case, you would add all of the numbers and divide by 8 because you have 8 numbers ! :D

I don’t understand how to solve this. Please explain the steps. Thanks.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are raising something to a fractional power, you are raising it to the power of the numerator and finding the root denoted by the denominator. The explanation above is kinda confusing, so here is an example:

x^(3/5)

This would be written as:

\sqrt[5]{x^3}

Now for the actual problem. Since the numerator is 4, we start by raising x to the 4th power, x^4.

Because the denominator is 5, we find the 5th root:

\sqrt[5]{x^4}

This matches none of the answers shown, so the answer is none of the above or D.
