Finding the proportionality constant :

y = k/x
16 = k/(1/2)
k = 8

Finding y when x = 17 :

y = 8/(17)
y = 8/17

The value of y is 8/17 when x = 17.

3 * 10^3 in scientific notation.

3,000 in standard notation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We divide:

3.9 *10^5 / 1.3 * 10^2

= ( 3.9/1.3) * (10^5 / 10^2)

= 3 * 10(5-2)

= 3 * 10^3.

This equals 3 * 1,000 = 3000.

Find the common factor and rewrite. Type your answer in the box. Do not use any spaces.

finlep [7]

Common factor is 4X

Rewriting the term we get: $4X(Y + 2Z)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the common factor of the expression: $4XY + 8XZ$

A common factor is the term that is common in all the terms of the expression.

In the given expression the common factor is: 4X because it is common in both terms

$4XY + 8XZ$

$=4X(Y + 2Z)$

So, Common factor is 4X

Rewriting the term we get: $4X(Y + 2Z)$
