Answer:
(a) This function represents a direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $5 per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of direct variation is ...
y = kx
for some constant k. Here, we have x in hours and y in dollars. We can see if k is constant for the values given in the table.
__
<h3>constant of variation</h3>
Solving the direct variation formula for k, we have ...
k = y/x
Using the table values, we can see if this is constant:
k = dollars/hour = 10/2 = 20/4 = 30/6 = 40/8 = 5
The "rate of change" is constant at $5 per hour.
The function represents direct variation because it passes through the origin and has a constant rate of change of $5 per hour.
Answer:
300 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a constant rate (12.5 points/game), we can find the number of points by setting up a proportion:
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply
Answer:
The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!
Step-by-step explanation:
The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac
In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!
