We use different models for different types of variation. For example, linear variation is associated with the formula y=ax, or the more familiar y=mx+b (the equation of a straight line). Cubic variation: y=a*x^3. In the present case we're discussing quadratic variation; perhaps that will ring a bell with you, reminding you that y=ax^2+bx+c is the general quadratic function.
Now in y our math problem, we're told that this is a case of quadratic variation. Use the model y=a*x^2. For example, we know that if x=2, y =32. Mind substituting those two values into y=a*x^2 and solving for y? Then you could re-write y=a*x^2 substituting this value for a. Then check thisd value by substituting x=3, y=72, and see whether the resulting equation is true or not. If it is, your a value is correct. But overall I got 16!
Answer:
11 pints
because 1 gallon is 8 pints
Answer:
it is 3 as a simplified fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
BOX 1) 5 plain pencils and 7 pens.
BOX 2) 6 color pencils and 2 crayons.
Plain pencil (first box) ~ 5 : 7
Color pencil (second box) ~ 6 : 2
Simplify.
3 : 1 <== Second box
Slope = -4/5
to calculate the slope m use the gradient form
m = y2 -y1
————
x2 - x1
let (x1, y1) = (3,1) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 5)
m = 5 - 1 4
———- = ——-
-2 - 3 -5
= - 4/5
