The constant of proportionality if y varies inversely as the fourth power of x and when x=3, y=1 is k = 3^¼

<h3>Inverse variation</h3>

y = k ÷ x^¼

where,

Constant of proportionality = k

When x = 3, y = 1

y = k ÷ x^¼

1 = k ÷ 3^¼

1 = k / 3^¼

cross product

1 × 3^¼ = k

k = 3^¼

Therefore, the constant of proportionality if y varies inversely as the fourth power of x and when x=3, y=1 is k = 3¼

A can is 4 inches wide and 8 inches tall. To the nearest whole number, what is the area of a label that wraps around the can if

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The area of a label is $62.8\ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a cylinder (label of the can) is equal to

$LA=2\pi rh$

we have that

A can is 4 inches wide

The diameter of the can is 4 inches

$r=4/2=2\ in$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$h=8-3=5\ in$ ----> height of the label

substitute in the formula

$LA=2(3.14)(2)(5)=62.8\ in^{2}$

The endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (−2, −3) and (4, −1). Which equation represents the circle?

Alika [10]

Answer:

The equation of circle is $(x-1)^{2}$ + $(y-2)^{2}$ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints of the diameter of a circle: (-2,-3) and (4,-1)

We know that the equation of circle is

$(x-h)^{2}$ + $(y-k)^{2}$ = $r^{2}$

where (x,y) is any point on the circle, (h,k) is center of the circle and r is radius of circle.

To find (h,k): the center is midpoint of diameter

Midpoint of diameter with end points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by

( $\frac{x1+x2}{2}$ , $\frac{y1+y2}{2}$ )

( $\frac{-2+4}{2}$ , $\frac{-3-1}{2}$ )

(1,2)

Hence (h,k) is (1,2)

Substituting values of (h.k) and (x.y) as (1,2) and (4,-1) respectively in equation of circle, we get

$(4-1)^{2}$ + $(-1-2)^{2}$ = $r^{2}$

$r^{2}$ = 18

Now substituting values of (h,k) and $r^{2}$ in equation of circle, we get

$(x-1)^{2}$ + $(y-2)^{2}$ = 18

Hence the equation of circle is $(x-1)^{2}$ + $(y-2)^{2}$ = 18

Which function is a horizontal compression of its parent function f(x)=x^7 by a factor of 4

evablogger [386]

Answer:

$r(x)=(4x)^7$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a horizontal compression, we multiply whole numbers greater than 1 in front of $x$ of the given function.
For horizontal expansion, we multiply by the reciprocal of the number for horizontal compression, in front of $x$ of the function.

For example,

If we wanted to <u>horizontally compress</u> $y=x^2$ , we would multiply by 4 to get $y=(4x)^2$ , and

if we wante to <u>horizontally expand</u> $y=x^2$ , we would multiply by $\frac{1}{4}$ to get $y=(\frac{1}{4}x)^2$

Since this question asks for horizontal compression, we multiply the $x$ of the function by 4. So the function we need is $f(x)=(4x)^7$ . The second choice is correct.
