How do you find direct variation? im having trouble understanding this subject

1 answer:

rodikova [14]3 years ago

I was too just a couple of weeks ago. So direct variation is the constant way to variables change together. EX:
x y
1 2
2 4
3 6
Direct variation must be in the format b=ka where k is a constant. So the direct variation here could be y=2x. Understand?

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

Or

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$

The shapes in this question are drawn on a centimetre grid.

xenn [34]

Answer:

A. 12 centimeters B. 4 centimeters C. 20 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find area you need to do the Height time the Length.

For A it is 3x4

For B it is 4x1

And for C it is 4x5

You get this equation by multiplying the amount of squares that the Height and Length measured!

Hope this helped!
