Is the function in the graph non-linear?

Mathematics

1 answer:

Elena-2011 [213]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Yes, because it does not have a constant rate of change.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function to be a function (or linear), the rate of change MUST be proportional. In this data set, the numbers do not seem proportional, which makes it non-linear.

Answer:

f(x) = 2/3 x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the y intercept ( where it crosses the y axis) is 3

We can calculate the slope from 2 points (-3,1) and (0,3)

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (3-1)/(0--3)

= (3-1)/(0+3)

= (2/3)

The slope is 2/3

Since we know the slope and the y intercept, we can use the slope intercept form

y= mx+b

y = 2/3 x+3

f(x) = 2/3 x +3

Steven saves $0.30 each week.

barxatty [35]

after 4 weeks:

.3*4= 1.2 saved

then it is doubled

1.2*2 = 2.40

8 weeks

he will have saved for 4 more weeks ( week 5 6 7 8)

4 * .3 = 1.2 saved

2.4 + 1.2 = 3.6 saved

then it is doubled

3.6 * 2 =7.20

he will have saved for 4 more weeks ( week 9, 10, 11, 12)

4 * .3 = 1.2 saved

7.2+ 1.20=8.40

then it is doubled

8.4*2 = 16.8

He will have 16.80 after 12 weeks

How many servings (including fractions of a serving) are there in five and a third

Xelga [282]

Answer:

10 $\frac{1}{6}$ servings

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 half cups in a cup

2x =1

the x in this case will be the 5 cups

2 (5) = ? cups

10 cups

now onto the $\frac{1}{3}$ cup

$\frac{1}{2}$ * $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$

and you add that onto the 10 cups

There are a total of 60 plastic blocks . Three out of every 5 blocks are red. Is it reasonable for Briana to think there are eno

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 5 of the 60 total blocks are red, that means every 3 of 5 random we take would be RED.

That is 3/5ths of 60 are red. We multiply and figure out.

$\frac{3}{5}*60=36$

So we can say there are 36 red blocks from the total 60 Blocks.

Briana needs to make a design that uses 32 RED BLOCKS. Are there enough??

Yes of course, because 36 > 32

So, it is reasonable for Briana to think there are enough blocks to make her design.
