Select the correct answer. Which statement best describes inflation? Α. Inflation decreases the amount of goods and services that can be purchased with a dollar.

B. Inflation increases the amount of goods and services that can be purchased with a dollar. Inflation increases the purchasing power of a dollar.

D. Inflation decreases the prices of goods and services.

E. Inflation doesn't affect the prices of goods and services but increases wages.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

1: -2 3/4, -2 1/2, -14, 0, 3, 8 1/3

2: -4, -3, -2 1/2, -2 1/4, 3 1/4,

step-by-step explanation:

3/20

step-by-step explanation:

well, there are 20 outcomes, and 3 of them you want. so, 3/20

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
