Charles says that the number line shows all the values that make the inequality n2-1 true. Do you agree with Charles? Explain.
4 5
-3 -2 -1
0 1 2 3

no

Step-by-step explanation:

n ≥ - 1

The inequality states that n is greater than or equal to - 1

To show the equal part on the number line the point at - 1 must be a solid circle, not an open one

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

answer: x=60
