Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

case 1) Sod that is quoted at a set price per square yard plus a labor fee

The Cost is NOT proportional to Area, because the line don't pass though the origin (the equation has an y-intercept equal to the labor fee)

case 2) Pavers that cost a set amount per square foot

The Cost is Proportional to Area

In this problem the constant of proportionality k is equal to the set amount per square feet

case 3) Hardwood flooring that cost $16 for every 2 square feet

The Cost is Proportional to Area

The constant of proportionality k is equal to

k=\frac{y}{x} ----> k=\frac{16}{2}=\$8\ per square\ foot

The linear equation is  y=8x

case 4) The given graph

Is a line that passes though the origin

so

The Cost is Proportional to Area

case 5) The given table

Find the constant of proportionality k for each ordered pair

If all values of k are the same, then the cost is proportional to area

For x=2, y=3,000 ->k=\frac{y}{x} --> k=\frac{3,000}{2}=1,500

For x=4, y=4,000 ->k=\frac{y}{x} --> k=\frac{4,000}{4}=1,000

For x=6, y=6,000 ->k=\frac{y}{x} --> k=\frac{6,000}{6}=1,000

so

the values of k are different

therefore

The Cost is NOT proportional to Area

case 6) A concrete patio quoted at a bulk cost for 50 square feet

Determine which windsurfer is traveling faster. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING 5meters per second or 720 feet per minute.
alexdok [17]
The first windsurfer is travelling faster. Solution:
1 meter = 3.28084 feet
The first surfer travels at 5 meters/second so you have to multiply 3.28084 by 5 which equals 16.4042 ft/second
There are 60 seconds in a minute so you will have to multiple 16.4042 ft/second by 60 seconds which equals 984.252 ft/minute

984.252 ft/minute > 720 ft/minute

A box contains 17 balls numbered 1 through 17. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement. If the second ball has the
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

1 ; 7 /17

Step-by-step explanation:

17 balls numbered 1 through 17

Picking without replacement :

If the second ball picked = 4

P(first ball has a smaller number)

Numbers less Than = (3, 2, 1)

P(number less than second ball Given 4 is drawn for second ball) :

= (3/17 * 1/16) ÷ (3/17 * 1/16) +) 14/17 * 0)

= (3 / 272) / (3 /272) * 0

= 3 / 272 * 272 / 3

= 1

2.)

(8/17 * 7/8) ÷ (8/17 * 7/8) + (9/17 * 1/17)

7/17 ÷ (7 /17) + 10/17

7 /17 ÷ 17/17

7/17 ÷ 1

7 /17
