Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots. The first five triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6,

10, and 15. Is there a direct variation between a triangular number and its position in the sequence? Explain your reasoning

Direct variation is y = kx  where y  would be the value of the number and x would be its position in the sequence, k is a constant 

so for consecutive values y/x would be a constant k 
In this case its not true becuse for example  3/1 = 3 and 6/3 = 2 

so there is no direct variation here.

Answer:

No, there is NOT a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the triangular numbers are not a direct variation. There is not a constant of variation between a number and its position in the sequence. The ratios of the numbers to their positions are not equal. Also, the points (1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 6), and so on, do not lie on a line.

You and your friend each collect rocks and fossils. Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as y
pochemuha

Answer:

I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of total objects collected by me  = 20

The number of objects collected by my friend  = 20

Let us assume:

The number of rocks collected by me  = m

The number of fossils collected by me  = 2 k

⇒ m +  2 k =  20  .... (1)

So, according to the question:

The number of rocks collected by my friend = 3 x (rocks collected by me)  

= 3 x (m)  = 3 m

The number of fossils collected by my friend = 1/2 x (fossils collected by me)    = 1/2 x (2k )  = k

⇒ 3 m +   k =  20  .... (2)

Solving (1)and (2) for the value of m and k, we get:

m +  2 k =  20     ⇒ m = 20 - 2 k ... Put this in (2)

3 m +   k =  20  ⇒  3 (20 - 2 k) +  k = 20

⇒ 60 - 6 k +  k  = 20

or, - 5k = -40

or, k = 40/5  = 8

⇒ k= 8

m + 2(8)  = 20

or, m = 4

Hence, the number of rocks collected by me  = m = 4

The number of fossils collected by me  =  2 k = 2 (4)  = 16

Hence, the number of rocks collected by my friend   = 3 m  = 3 x 4 = 12

The number of fossils collected by my friend   =   k =  8

Hence, I collect 4 rocks and 16 fossils. While my friend collects 12 rocks and 8 fossils.

A web-based company has a goal of processing 90 percent of its orders on the same day they are received. If 434 out of the next
Kamila [148]

Answer:

We conclude that a web-based company are not exceeding their goal of 90%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a web-based company has a goal of processing 90 percent of its orders on the same day they are received.

434 out of the next 471 orders are processed on the same day.

Let p = <u><em>proportion of orders processing on the same day they are received.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 0.90     {means that they are not exceeding their goal of 90%}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_0 : p > 0.90      {means that they are exceeding their goal of 90%}

The test statistics that would be used here <u>One-sample z test for</u> <u>proportions</u>;

                            T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of orders that are processed on the same day = \frac{434}{471} = 0.92

           n = sample of orders = 471

So, <u><em>the test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.92-0.90}{\sqrt{\frac{0.92(1-0.92)}{471} } }

                                     =  1.599

The value of z test statistics is 1.599.

<u>Now, at 0.025 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.96 for right-tailed test.</u>

Since our test statistic is less than the critical value of z as 1.599 < 1.96, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which <u><em>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</em></u>.

Therefore, we conclude that a web-based company are not exceeding their goal of 90%.

Tony addison obtained a 20-year, $45,000 mortgage loan from united savings with an interest rate of 8.5%. his monthly payment is
Anna007 [38]

As given,  

Loan amount is = $45000

Rate of interest = 8.5%

So, Tony's mortgage will attract an interest of:

45000\times\frac{8.5}{100} = $3825  (this is yearly)

And for 1st month it will be = \frac{3825}{12}=  $318.75  

As given, the first month's payment is $390.60 and this covers the interest Additional amount ($390.60 - $318.75 = $71.85) is a payment against the principle.

Hence, the new principle after the 1st month is $71.85 less than $45000

= 45000-71.85 = $44928.15

Hence, the last option $44928.15 is the correct answer.
