Which relationship shows a quadratic variation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

The 2nd one

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

20.gif because it goes up 2,4,6,8

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

Any questions??

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

that's the right answer, but not the right reason!

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

welp give her the right reason lol i juss wanna make sure she has a clear understanding of it

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

20 has x 1 2 3 4 y 2 8 18 32 a quadratic variation will be of the form y = kx^2 where k is a constant 2 = k(1)^2 2 = k(1) k = 2 8 = k(2)^2 8 = k(4) k = 2 18 = k(3)^2 18 = k(9) k = 2 32 = k(4)^2 32 = k(16) k = 2

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

so the data in the table in 20 will fit y = kx^2 if k = 2. therefore, it is a quadratic variation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y varies directly with x2 and y = 48 when x = 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 4x^2 y = 12x^2 y = 4x y = x^2 + 25

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

y=12x^2

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

substitute 2 in for x and u have 12(2)^2 then follow PEMDAS so exponents comes first so 2^2 is 4 and 12*4 =48 this the answer is y=12x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which relationship shows an inverse variation?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

y = kx is direct variation y = k/x is indirect variation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

indirect variation implies that as one quantity increases, the other must decrease

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

that alone is enough to solve this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

as x goes from 1 to 4, f(x) goes from 12 to 3, so that passes the "one increases, the other decreases" test. f(x) = k/x 12 = k/1 6 = k / 2 4 = k / 3 3 = k / 4 k = 12 solves all of those, so the relationship is f(x) = 12/x and it is indirect variation.
