Y
y=ax
where a is a constant of proportionality;
y=20, x=4
20=4a
a=20/4
a=5
y=5x
The constant of variation is 5

$\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{\sqrt{4x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3}{2\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt{x}}{2\sqrt{x}\cdot\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{x\sqrt{3x}}{2x}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3x}}{2}\to\boxed{4.}\\\\Used:\\\\\sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{a}=a$

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

B: 8 7/8 Lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

answer = $15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{1}{2} -2\frac{3}{4}$

step 1 find a common denominator

common denominator - 8

* apply *

$\frac{1^*^1}{8^*^8} =\frac{1}{8} \\\\\frac{1^*^4}{2^*^4} =\frac{4}{8} \\\\\frac{3^*^2}{4^*^2} =\frac{6}{8}$

now we have

$15\frac{1}{8} -3\frac{4}{8} -2\frac{6}{8}$

step 2 make each fraction a improper fraction

We can do this my multiplying the big number by the denominator and adding that to the numerator.

$15*8=120\\120+1=121\\\frac{121}{8} \\\\3*8=24\\24+4=28\\\frac{28}{8} \\\\2*8=16\\16+6=22\\\frac{22}{8}$

now we have

$\frac{121}{8} -\frac{28}{8} -\frac{22}{8}$

Now we can subtract

remember when subtracting fractions you only subtract the numerators. ( so we keep the denominator as 8 )

so 121 - 28 - 22 = 71

so the answer is $\frac{71}{8}$

finally we want to change the answer back into a mixed fraction

To do this we divided 71 and 8

8 can go into 71 8 times

8 * 8 = 64

71 - 64 = 7

We're left with $8\frac{7}{8}$

Sec theta - Csc theta / (csc theta)(sec theta)

Sophie [7]

Answer:

sin(x)-cos(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} - \frac{1}{sin(x)} }{\frac{1}{sin(x)} * \frac{1}{cos(x)} }$

Simplify the denominator:

$\frac{\frac{1}{cos(x)} - \frac{1}{sin(x)} }{\frac{1}{cos(x)sin(x)} }$

Simplify the numerator:

$\frac{{\frac{2(sin(x)-cos(x))}{sin(2x)} } }{\frac{1}{sin(x)} * \frac{1}{cos(x)} }$

Divide the fractions: <u>(a/b)/(c/d) = (a * d)/(b * c)</u>:

$\frac{(-cos(x)+sin(x))*2cos(x)sin(x)}{sin(2x)}$

Use the identity: <u>2cos(x)sin(x) = sin(2x):</u>

$\frac{sin(2x)(-cos(x)+sin(x))}{sin(2x)}$

Cancel out the common factor (sin(2x)):

-cos(x) + sin(x)

Simplify:

sin(x) - cos(x)
