Answer:

  a)  y does NOT vary directly with x

  b)  y = 2.5x -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If variation were direct the ratios of y to x would be constant. They are not:

  6/5 ≠ 11/7

y does not vary directly with x.

__

y changes by 5 from 6 to 11 when x changes by 2 from 5 to 7. Then the slope of the linear function rule is (change in y)/(change in x) = 5/2. Using a point-slope form of the equation of a line, we can write the rule as ...

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . . . for a line of slope m through point (h, k)

  y = (5/2)(x -5) +6

  y = 2.5x -6.5 . . . . . simplify

For a moving object, the force acting on the object varies directly with the objects acceleration. When a force of 35 N acts on

<h3>Answer:  3 m/s^2</h3>

=======================================================

According to Newton's Second Law, we know that

F = m*a

where F is the force applied, m is the mass and 'a' is the acceleration.

We see that this is a direct variation equation for F and a, such that m is the constant of variation. It's similar to how y = kx is also a direct variation equation.

Plug in F = 35 and a = 5 to find m

F = ma

35 = m*5

35/5 = m

7 = m

m = 7

The object has a mass of 7 kg

Our equation F = ma updates to F = 7a

Now plug in the force F = 21 to find 'a'

F = 7a

21 = 7a

21/7 = a

3 = a

a = 3

The acceleration will be 3 m/s^2

Notice how a smaller force applied means that the acceleration has also gone down as well.

Given:

The statement is:

{5, 6, 7} = {5, 5, 6, 7, 7}

To find:

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Solution:

Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements.

The given set {5, 6, 7} has three elements and the set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has five elements but we known that all the elements of a set are distinct. It means, it has no repeated element.

Set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has three distinct elements 5, 6, 7. So,

{5, 5, 6, 7, 7} = {5, 6, 7}

Therefore, the given statement is true.

Sumeet uses 0.4 gallon of gasoline each hour mowing lawns how much gas does he use in 4.2 hours
kvv77 [185]
0.4 gallons of gasoline each hour

We want to know how much gas he uses in 4.2 hours.

Multiply:

0.4 * 4.2 = 1.68

So he uses 1.68 gallons of gas in 4.2 hours.
