How do you prove if quantities vary directly?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

If quantities vary directly, then one is simply the other multiplied by a fixed number. All sets of two numbers in a direct variation are one number multiplied by a fixed number to get the second number.

Example:

1 gallon of gasoline costs $3.50

2 gallons of gasoline cost $7.00

3 gallons of gasoline cost $10.50

Is the price of gasoline a direct variation based on the number of gallons?

3.5/1 = 3.5

7/2 = 3.5

10.5/3 = 3.5

When you multiply 1 gal, 2 gal, and 3 gal by the constant number 3.5 $/gal, you get the price. Since the multiplication is always by the same number, it is a direct variation.

If 1200 cm^2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top find the largest possible volume of the b
strojnjashka [21]
Surface area of box=1200 cm² 
<span>Volume of box=s²h </span>
<span>s = side of square base </span>
<span>h = height of box </span>
<span>S.A. = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>S.A. = surface area or 1200 cm², s²
 = the square base, and 4sh = the four 'walls' of the box. </span>
<span>1200 = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>1200 - s² = 4sh </span>
<span>(1200 - s²)/(4s) = h </span>


<span>v(s) = s²((1200 - s²)/(4s)) </span>
<span>v(s) = s(1200 - s²)/4 . </span>
<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3</span>

by derivating
<span>v'(s) = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>0 = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>-300 = (-3/4)s² </span>
<span>400 = s² </span>
<span>s = -20 and 20. </span>
again derivating
<span>v"(s) = -(3/2)s </span>
<span>v"(-20) = -(3/2)(-20) </span>
<span>v"(-20) = 30 </span>
<span>v"(20) = -(3/2)(20) </span>
<span>v"(20) = -30 </span>


<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300(20) - (1/4)(20)^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 6000 - (1/4)(8000) </span>
<span>v = 6000 - 2000 
v=4000</span>
