Which equation describes a relationship that is directly proportional?

Mathematics

mixer [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(C) y = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Directly proportional relation is one in which the value of x and y gets increases or decreased in same proportion.

example of such relation can be y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality which depicts by how much value of  y will change in response to change of x.

_______________________________________________

now in the option

A and B

y= 9 , y =1/5

value of y is constant and does not depend on other variable. it value will remain same.

for y = x+4

value of y increases with x but it does not increase proportionally.

let see an example for x =1 , y = 1+4 = 5

x =2 , y = 2+4 = 6

(1,5)  and (2,6) are not proportionally changing also this equation is not of form y = kx

thus, it is incorrect option.

_______________________________

(C) y = 3x

here equation is form y =kx .  in place of k there is 3

let see an example for x =1 , y = 3*1 = 3

x =2 , y = 3*2 = 6

(1,3)  and (2,6) are  proportionally changing (1/3 = 2/6) also this equation is  of form y = kx

thus, it is correct option.

What is the exact value of cos (7pi/8)
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The bottom one ....see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Using reference angle of pi/8   and half angle trig identity:

cos ( angle/2) = -sqrt  (1 + cos (angle) /2)

cos ( pi/4  / 2) = - sqrt (1+ cos ( pi/4)/2)

  <u> cos (pi/8)</u>      = -    sqrt (1 + sqrt (2) / 2)

                 = - sqrt (1 + sqrt 2) / sqrt 2     rationalize the denominator

                    = - sqrt ( sqrt 2 + 2) / 2

re arrange to

          - sqrt ( 2 + sqrt2)  / 2        the fourth answer
