One of these scenarios represents a direct variation and one does not. How can you tell the difference? a) A large pizza with one topping costs $15.50. A large pizza with 4 toppings costs $20. Does the price vary directly with the number of toppings? b) A marathoner ran 5 miles in 40 minutes and 15 miles in 120 minutes. Does the number of minutes vary directly with the number of miles?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A large pizza with one topping costs $15.50. A large pizza with 4 toppings costs $20.

A large pizza with one topping costs $15.50.

Using the formula for direct variation,

y = kx

where,

y = Cost of pizza

x = number of toppings

k = constant of proportionality

15.50 = 1k

k = 15.50

A large pizza with 4 toppings costs $20.

Using y = kx

20 = 4k

k = 20/4

k = 5

Here, the price does not vary directly with the number of toppings because the constant of proportionality is different.

b) A marathoner ran 5 miles in 40 minutes and 15 miles in 120 minutes.

Using y = kx

where,

y = 40

x = 5

y = kx

40 = 5k

k = 40/5

k = 8

Using y = kx

where,

y = 120

x = 15

y = kx

120 = 15k

k = 120/15

k = 8

The number of minutes vary directly with the number of miles. This is because the constant of proportionality is thesame in both cases.

Therefore, the second one(B) represents a direct variation and the first one (A) doesn't.

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
