The constant of proportionality between the cost and the number of pounds is: A. 0.59.

<h3>What is Constant of Proportionality?</h3>

The constant of proportionality of a relationship between two variables X and Y can be defined as the ratio between of X and Y at a constant value. This means that the ratio or product of X and Y will give us a constant if both are in a proportional relationship.

Thus, the constant of proportionality for the  relationship between two variables X and Y would be calculated as:

Constant of proportionality (k) = Y/X. [this is the proportional between the two quantities, X and Y].

Given the table of values, using a pair of points on the table, say, (5, 2.95), we can calculate the constant of proportionality as:

X = 5

Y = 2.95

Constant of proportionality (k) = Y/X = 2.95/5

Constant of proportionality (k) = 0.59 pounds per dollar.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality between the cost and the number of pounds is: A. 0.59.

Answer:

The answer is No Solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is absolute value, we know the answer has to be positive, because distance has to be positive. We see it is negative, and that cannot be, so the answer is no solutions.

What is the quadratic equation of the curve of best fit shown below
Kisachek [45]
First off, we know that the y-interecept is 2, so there is going to be a plus two in the final equation. Now with the two answers input the number 8 to see which will output 6.

6 = 1/12(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/12 + 2
6 = 16/3 + 6/3
6 does not equal 22/3

6 = 1/16(8)^(2) + 2
6 = 1/12(64) + 2
6 = 64/16 + 2
6 = 4 + 2
6 = 6
This means that y = 1/16 x^2 + 2 is the correct answer. I hope that helps!
