Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonlinear, because the slope is not constant - it keeps changing.

Slope between (1,1) and (1,2) is (1/1) or 1

Slope between (2,4) and (16,3) is:

Rise = (3-4) = -1

Run = (16-2) = 14

Slope = 14/-1 or -14

Definitely not linear. The slope changes dramatically very quickly. A straight line would disapprove.

Help! how can i determine the range

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

$[-1,\infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the range is the set of all y-values. Thus, since the minimum of the function is y=-1, then our range is $[-1,\infty)$ . In interval notation, we use brackets to show what's included and parentheses to show what's not included.

Mrs. Jones is building wooden picture frames. She has 1 5/8 of wood and needs 3/4 for each frame. How many frames can she make w

jonny [76]

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many frames she can make with the exiting material, divide 1 5/8 by 3/4

$1\frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{4}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{5}{8}=\frac{1*8+5}{8}=\frac{13}{8}$

substitute

$\frac{13}{8}:\frac{3}{4}=\frac{52}{24}\ frames$

Simplify

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{13}{6}\ frames=\frac{12}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=2\frac{1}{6}\ frames$

Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

Tomtit [17]

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
