How can you use rates to determine wheather a situation is a proportional relationship

Mathematics
1 answer:
svp [43]3 years ago
7 0

<em>If the rate is a constant, the relationship is proportional.</em> (The rate is the constant of porportionality.)

_____

For two or more points on the function curve, divide the dependent variable value by the independent one. If you get the same result in every case, the relationship is porportional.

___

<em>Note</em>

For some non-proportional relationships, it is possible to find points on the graph that will pass the above test. If you suspect the relationship is actually not one of proportionality, try more points. Check also to make sure that (0, 0) is on the curve.

Find inverse of f(x)=x^3-9<br>Not sure of my answer!​
Katyanochek1 [597]

as you may already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=x^3-9\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\underline{y}^3-9}\implies x+9=y^3\implies \sqrt[3]{x+9}=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}

Calculate the mean,median,and mode of the following set of data. Round to the nearest tenth 10,1,10,15,1,7,10,1,6,13
lions [1.4K]
Let's start with the mean. 

To find the mean of a data set, add all the numbers, then divide by the number of numbers there are. 

10 + 1 + 10 + 15 + 1 + 7 + 10 + 1 + 6 + 13 = 74
74/10 = 7.4

The mean is 7.4

Now for the median.

To find the median put all the numbers in order, then find the middle number.

1, 1, 1, 6, 7, 10, 10, 10, 13, 15

The number in between 7 and 10 is 8.5
The median is 8.5

And finally, the mode.

To find the mode, find the number that appears the most. 

1, 1, 1, 6, 7, 10, 10, 10, 13, 15

In this case, there are two modes. 1, and 10.

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
Vitek1552 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this function:

y=8700* (1.04)^{4}y=8700∗(1.04)

4

8700 is the initial amount.

1.04 shows the change of original amount. This is decimal form of percentage. We need to transform it into regular percentage.

1.04 * 100% = 104%

Now we observe this number. If it is greater than 100% we have growth, if it is lower than 100% it is decay, and if it is equal to 100% than there is no change.

In our case this number is greater than 100% so we have growth. To determine the percentage rate we must substract 100% as it represents the original amount.

104% - 100% = 4%

This would be our solution if we don't have an exponent.

We have exponent so first step is to calculate the number and then we repeat the steps from above.

1.04^{4} = 1,169858561.04

4

=1,16985856

1,16985856 * 100% ≈ 116,99%

116.99% - 100% = 16.99%

So, final solution is growth of 16.99%
