Answer: D) 52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for inverse variation between two quantities x and y is given by :-

k=yx, where k is the constant of variation, for this relationship. (1)

Given : Sarah studies indicate that there is an inverse relationship between TV time and GPA, and that a student who watched 15 hours of TV per week can be expected to have a GPA of 3.5.

Then from (1) the constant of variation is given by :-

k=15\times3.5=52.5

Hence, the required answer is option D) 52.5 .

Her studies indicate that there is an inverse relationship between TV time and GPA, and that a student who watched 15 hours of TV per week can be expected to have a GPA of 3.5

In equation form

15 = k(1/3.5)

Solve for k

K = 15 * 3.5

<span>K = 52.5 is the constant of variation</span>

Which of the following represents a geometric series (remember what a series is as opposed to a sequence)?
juin [17]

Answer:

4 + 12 + 36 + ...

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 12, 36, ... is a geometric sequence, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

When we add the terms of a geometric sequence we get a geometric series.

4+12+36+ ... is a geometric series, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

4 + 12 + 20 + ... is not a geometric series because it has no common ratio

\frac{20}{12}\ne \frac{12}{4}

The second choice is correct
