Question
Answer each of the following questions involving direct, inverse, joint, and combined variations. Choose your answer from the given choices. For items number 10-15, attach a copy of your solutions in this form.
1. What type of variation involves 3 or more quantities that may vary directly? *
*Direct Variation
*Inverse Variation
*Joint Variation
*Combined Variation
2. This type of variation states that the two quantities increase at the same time or decrease at the same time. *
*Direct Variation
*Inverse Variation
*Joint Variation
*Combined Variation
3. Translate "the cost c varies directly as the number of n pencils" into equation. *
*c = kn
*k = cn
*n = k/c
*c = k/n
4. The speed r of a moving object is inversely proportional to the time t travelled is written as *
*r = kt
*r = k/t
*t = kr
*t = r/k
5. Which of the following types of variation states that the decrease of one quantity results to the increase of the other quantity? *
*Direct Variation
*Inverse Variation
*Joint Variation
*Combined Variation
6. If y varies directly as x and y = 24, when x = 3, then what is the value of k? *
*4
*6
*8
*12
7. Which of the following phrases illustrate an inverse variation? *
*The area of the wall to the amount of paint used to cover it
*The amount of money raised in a concert to the number of tickets sold
*The time a teacher spends in checking papers to the number of students
*The age of a used car to its resale value
8. If s varies directly as t and inversely as v, then which of the following equations describes the relation among the three variables s, t, and v? *
*s = k / tv
*s = kv / t
*1/s = kt/ v
*s = kt / v
9. This is a variation where one quantity varies directly to other quantity and inversely to the other quantity. *
*Direct Variation
*Inverse Variation
*Joint Variation
*Combined Variation
10-12. Suppose y varies jointly as x & z. If y = -180 when z = 15and x = -3,then find y when x = 7 and z = -5. * (Show solution)

13-15. The distance it takes to stop a car varies directly as the square of the speed of the car. If it takes 112 feet for a car traveling at 40 miles per hour to stop, what distance is required for a speed of 65 miles per hour? *
(Show solution)
*308.05 ft
*295.75 ft

- this question is pretty easy but it keeps on saying that I am wrong.arrow_forwardmile due west of a street intersection. Another car is located 8. mile 4. A police car is at rest and is located north of the intersection and is traveling at a speed of 40 miles per hour (mph) due south toward the intersection. At that instant, the radar in the police car records the rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing. What speed is recorded by the radar? 35.8 mph 38.8 mph 41.2 mph 44.2 mph 53.7 mph 0 0arrow_forwardA car is initially located 40 km North of a truck. The car then begins to travel North at 20 km/h, while at the same time, the truck travels due West at 30 km/h. After travelling for 2 hours , the distance between the two vehicles is 11.

- Each row represents an experimental “run” (in this case, averaged sample of mango wine). Column A shows the run number; Column B shows the percentage of ethanol; Column C shows the amount of glycerol (in g/L); Column D shows the amount of acid (in g/L); Column E shows the temperature of the run (in °C); and Column F shows the pH of the run. Y represents Ethanol of mango wine. 1. Create a scatterplot of the ethanol data for all 20 runs a. Draw a graphical representation of the model that you chose to use. b. Comparing the model to your data, evaluate its fit in one or two sentences. (Not sure what this question is getting at. I've provided all the information given) c.
