Answer: Yes, y does vary directly with x.
Constant of variation = 1/4
The function rule is y = (1/4)x
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.
If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
Solving for k gets us k = y/x
For each row, divide the y value over the x value
- row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
- row two: k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
- row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25
Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.
So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x
Answer:
Subtraction will happen in this case.
14ft-5ft= 9ft
10 inches-8 inches= 2 inches
So, it grew 9ft. and 2 inches.
As I can tell the tables are right but it would be a function since none of the x's repeat
(by far the most painful question all day) 226 mins = 3.77 hours 4 3/5 hours = 4.6 hours 4.6- 3.77 = 0.83 hours 0.83 hours = 49.8 mins = 2988 seconds.
