Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A <u>helix</u> is a curve for which the tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line. The shortest path between two points on a cylinder (one not directly above the other) is a fractional turn of a helix, as can be seen by cutting the cylinder along one of its sides, flattening it out, and noting that a straight line connecting the points becomes helical upon re-wrapping (see attached diagram for helix).
The parametrization for the helix is

where
is the radius of the helix,
is the constant, and
is the parameter
Answer: The constant of proportionality is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for constant of proportionality is y=KX. the K stands for the constant of proportionality and since the constant proportionality is 1.5 you will take 1.5 * x and for example x is 2 so you do 1.5 * 2 and you get 3 and 3 is your y. If you plug in the equation you're saying 3 equals 1.5 * 2 which is right.
The answer is the positive square root of 36
