An equation of the form y=ax+b, where y and x are variables, and a and b are constants, is called a linear equation.

The reason it is called linear is because the graph of the equation is a line.

The line passes through the origin only if b=0, as in our problem.

Any line (except vertical lines) represents a proportional relationship in that the change in y is proportional with the change in x. It is not a condition that the line passes through the origin.

In our specific case, y=(1/5)x, means that the change in y is always 1/5 of the change in x. That is, if x changes by 5 units, y changes by 1. If x changes by 10 units, y changes by 2, and so on.

So, the constant of proportionality is 1:5, or 0.2.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cells are divided into two cell every 20mins, this implies that the half-life is 20mins

Initial population growth is 60cells

Growth rate r?

Population growth is modeled as

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

Where,

Po is the initial growth at t= 0

Po= 60

P(t) is population at any time t.

Since the population doubles every 20mins(⅓hr)

Then, P(⅓) = 2×60 =120

Then, P(t) = 120cells

So, applying the formula

P(t) = Po•exp(rt)

120 = 60•exp(⅓r)

120/60 = exp(r/3)

2 = exp(r/3)

Take In of both sides

In(2) = r/3

Cross multiply

r = 3In(2)

r = 2.079 /hour

The growth rate is 2.079/hour.

In a recent year, 31% of all college students were enrolled part-time. If 8.6 million college students were enrolled part-time t
Ronch [10]

Answer:

28 million college students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can represent all college students as x. This means that all part-time college students are \frac{31}{100}x. Because all part-time college students are also equal to 8.6 million, we have 8,600,000=\frac{31}{100}x. To find the number of total college students, or x, we have to multiply by 100/31 to get rid of the fraction on the other side:

8,600,00\cdot\frac{100}{31}=x

The left side of the equation evaluates as 27,741,935.5. Because we are asked to round to the nearest million, we have to round to 28 million, which is the closest.

-3 + 42 &gt; 3<br><br> x &gt; 15<br> x &lt; 15<br> x &gt; 13<br> x &lt; 13
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Where's the x?

I am assuming that the problem must be

-3 + 42 > 3x

if that is true, then

<u>x < 13</u>.

As this statement is, -3 + 42 > 3 is a true statement because -3 + 42 = 39, and

39 > 3 [39 is always greater than 3]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me know if you need a step by step.
