... Direct variation equations show a relationship between two quantities such that when one quantity increases, the other also increases, and when one quantity decreases, the other also decreases. We can say that y varies directly as x, or y is proportional to x. Direct variation formulas are of the fo ...

... 13. Refer to Step 4 of the Activity. Find an additional point B on the line y = kx for your chosen value of k. Calculate the slope of the line using points A and B. Compare this to the slope you calculated using A and O. How do the slopes compare to each other and to k? 14. Bicycle manufacturers hav ...

MATH 103A Homework 1 Solutions Due January 11, 2013
... b are relatively prime, show that ab divides c. Show, by example, that if a and b are not relatively prime, then ab need not divide c. Solution: Since a, b are relatively prime gcda, b 1. By Theorem 0.2, this means that there are s, t Z such that 1 as bt. By assumption that ac and bc there a ...

Elementary mathematics
Elementary mathematics consists of mathematics topics frequently taught at the primary or secondary school levels. The most basic topics in elementary mathematics are arithmetic and geometry. Beginning in the last decades of the 20th century, there has been an increased emphasis on problem solving. Elementary mathematics is used in everyday life in such activities as making change, cooking, buying and selling stock, and gambling. It is also an essential first step on the path to understanding science.In secondary school, the main topics in elementary mathematics are algebra and trigonometry. Calculus, even though it is often taught to advanced secondary school students, is usually considered college level mathematics.
