You have 8 tables. You have 5 people at each table. Find out how many people are coming to your table party.
Problem 1
Answer: Direct variation; k = 1/4
----------------------
Explanation:
We can rewrite the given equation y = x/4 into y = (1/4)x. Then note how it's in the form y = kx. In this case, k = 1/4. In decimal form, this is k = 0.25
All direct variation equations are in the form y = kx. The value of k is the constant of variation.
====================================================
Problem 2
Answer: Inverse variation; k = 9
----------------------
Explanation:
The equation 9/y = x rearranges to xy = 9.
We can then solve for y to get y = 9/x
This is in the form y = k/x, where k = 9
All inverse variation equations are in the form y = k/x, with k as the constant of variation.
Answer:
Inequality: x + 4 ≥ 12
Solution: x ≥ 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Plus</u>: "+" → to add something to something else
<u>Greater than or equal to</u>: "≥" → the expression on the left side of the inequality sign is greater than the expression on the right side of the sign.
Let x be the unknown number.
A number plus four is greater than or equal to twelve:
x + 4 ≥ 12
To solve the found inequality, subtract 4 from both sides:
⇒ x + 4 - 4 ≥ 12 - 4
⇒ x ≥ 8
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x ≥ 8. The unknown number x can be any real number equal to or greater than 8.
