Let y represent <span>the number of square yards
Let x the number of square feet.
Then y varies directly with x.

y = kx
where k is the constant of variation.
y = 3 yards^2
x  = 27 feet^2

3 = k(27)
k = 3/27
k = 1 yard^2 /9 feet^2

So the constant of variation is </span>1 yard^2 <span>/9 feet^2.</span>

You want to distribute 7 candies to 4 kids. If every kid must receive at least one candy, in how many ways can you do this?
puteri [66]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

lets begin to set up this question. i personally find questions like these easiest when i begin to set up ideas to help my brain process it better, for example:

person a

person b

person c

person d

we know that each (person) must receive at least 1 candy. we also know that we have 7 candies. therefore if we want do draw this out :

person a- 1

person b- 1

person c- 1

person d -1

notice that we now have given away 4 of the 7 candies. now we have 3 candies left. we can simply:

person a- 2

person b-2

person c-2

person d- 1

but, keep in mind that there are still many more ways that we can distribute the candies to other kids. the question we are asked is how may ways can we do this. since i have already illustrated the question, you can either learn how to put this into an equation, or experiment how many variations there are. the answer, either way is 15.

Please help me with this question. I don't think I understand it. Quadratic functions graphing #15-19.
belka [17]

Answer:

15) (1, 1) and (-1, 1)

16) (1, 2) and (-1, 2)

17 (1,1/2) and (-1, 1/2)

18) (1,1/4) and (-1, 1/4)

19) 16 is vertical stretch, 17 and 18 is vertical compressed

Step-by-step explanation:

for qs 15-18 since x is 1 or -1 if you sq 1 or -1 you will always get 1

so y is the "a" value in the equation  y=ax²

for qs 19

y=ax²

so if a>1 -- then vertical stretch

when 0<a<1 -- then vertical compressed

What is the next number in the series? 5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, ___
Anika [276]
If we take the sequence terms apart and write the odd-numbered terms (the first, third, fifth, etc) and the even-numbered terms (the second, fourth, sixth, etc) in<span> own sequences we will get:
5     10    15
15   13    11
So, in the first sequence every term is obtained by adding five to the previous, and in the second sequence every term is obtained by subtracting 2 from the previous term. According to this logic, the next number in the series </span><span>5, 15, 10, 13, 15, 11, 20.</span>
