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.

Pretty sure that would be 120. Since the angles of a triangle add up to 180, you just add 25 and 35 (makes 60) and subtract it by 180, leaving 120

Find the exact solution using common logarithms 2^5x+3= 3^2x+1
AfilCa [17]
2^{5x + 3} = 3^{2x + 1}
log_{2}(2^{5x + 3}) = log_{2}(3^{2x + 1})
(5x + 3)log_{2}(2) = (2x + 1)log_{2}(3)
5x + 3 = 1.58(2x + 1)
5x + 3 = 3.16x + 1.58
1.84x + 3 = 1.58
1.84x = -1.42
x \approx -0.77
