Answer:
B. 10,368 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
120x90= 10800
24x18=432
10800-432= 10,368 square yards
Answer: The third one or C
Step-by-step explanation: That is the correct distance formula.
Answer:
The difference quotient for 
is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference quotient is a formula that computes the slope of the secant line through two points on the graph of <em>f</em>. These are the points with x-coordinates x and x + h. The difference quotient is used in the definition the derivative and it is given by
So, for the function the difference quotient is:
To find 
, plug 
instead of 
Finally,
The difference quotient for is .
Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
