3. Make Sense and Persevere When does expanding and simplifying a(b + c) result in
a positive value for ac?

hey i’m new i won’t be answering any questions now bye peeps see you next time

answer: the common difference is -0.10

sorry, i can't understand your question. will later if you describe more clearly!

: )

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
