Answer:

There's no direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position

I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)

*

**

***

****

*****

Represent the line number with y and it's position with x

On line 1:

y = 1, x = 1

On line 2:

y = 2, x = 3

On line 3:

y = 3, x = 6

On line 4:

y = 4, x = 10

On line 5:

y = 5, x = 15

Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.

Direct variation is represented by

y = kx

Or

kx = y

Where k is the constant of variation

For line 1:

Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x

k * 1 = 1

k = 1

For line 2:

Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x

k * 3 = 2

Divide through by 3

k = ⅔

Note that the values of k in both computations differ.

This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.

All these cases represent experiments whose outcomes are all equaly likely. What we mean is that the cards have all the same probability of being dealt (1/52), and all the spaces of the spinner have the same probability of being landed into (1/5).

These probabilities are computed as 1 over all the possible outcomes.

(a) If you want a heart card and a five, you want the 5 of hearts. So, only one card would satisfy your request, and thus you have probability 1/52 of dealing the 5 of hearts.

\dfrac{1}{52}\approx 0.019 = 1.9\%

(b) There are four 10s and four Jacks in the deck, so 8 cards satisfy your request. With probability 8/52, you'll be dealt a Jack or a 10.

\dfrac{8}{52}=\dfrac{2}{13}\approx 0.154 = 15.4\%

(c) You have two "good" outcomes out of 5, so your probability is 2/5.

\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4=40\%

Help me!<br> what is the domain or range?
Lapatulllka [165]
Domain is [-10,∞) 
2 is included , only at x=2 new function begins
Range is the values of y , so range  is [-7]∪[-4,6
I think, it should be  like this.
