Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots. The first five triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6,

10, and 15. Is there a direct variation between a triangular number and its position in the sequence? Explain your reasoning

Direct variation is y = kx  where y  would be the value of the number and x would be its position in the sequence, k is a constant 

so for consecutive values y/x would be a constant k 
In this case its not true becuse for example  3/1 = 3 and 6/3 = 2 

so there is no direct variation here.

Answer:

No, there is NOT a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the triangular numbers are not a direct variation. There is not a constant of variation between a number and its position in the sequence. The ratios of the numbers to their positions are not equal. Also, the points (1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 6), and so on, do not lie on a line.

What is  4 4/15 plus 1/5 equals
telo118 [61]
4 7/15

You can only add fractions if they have the same denominator, which in this case is the 15 and the 5. So you can't add the 1/5 and the 4/15 together just yet because its not the same denominator.  Multiply 3/3 to 1/5 to get the same denominator as 4/15, and it would become 3/15 because whatever you do to the top, you do to the top. Add them together and you get 7/15, and then add the whole 4 and you get 4 7/15

X(x+5)+6(x+5)=(x+5)(?)<br> help
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

x = -25/12 or x = -0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x(x+5)+6(x+5)=(x+5)

Distribute

x^2 + 5x + 6x + 30 = x + 5

Combine

x^2 + 11x + 30 = x + 5

Subtract 1x from both sides

x^2 + 10x + 30 = 5

Subtract 30 from both sides

12x = -25

Divide 12 on both sides

x = -25/12 or -0.2

The quotient of a number x and −1.5  is 21
Andru [333]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

x = -31.5

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

We are given that the quotient of x and -1.5 is 21

<u>This means that:</u>

\frac{x}{-1.5} =21

To get the value of x, we will multiply both sides of the equation by -1.5

<u>This means that:</u>

\frac{x}{-1.5} * -1.5=21*-1.5

x = -31.5

<u>Note that</u> the value of x must be negative because we are dividing by a negative number and the quotient is positive (-ve/-ve is +ve and +ve/-ve is -ve)

Hope this helps :)
