Direct variation or not a direct variation y=5/x

Mathematics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago

Answer:

not direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for x and y in direct variation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

y = \frac{5}{x} is not in this form, thus not direct variation.

The equation for x and y varying inversely is

y = \frac{k}{x} ← k is the constant of variation

y = \frac{5}{x} is in this form and represents inverse variation

The ratio of the number of sheep to the number of horses on a farm is 8:3. If there are 42 horses on the farm, how many sheep ar
Alenkinab [10]
Well, if there are 3 sheep for every 8 horses then there should be 15.75 sheep.

.......you divide 42 by 8 to find the number of horses (5.25) and then multiply that by 3 (15.75).

I hope this helps you.

Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.
DaniilM [7]

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

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

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.
