Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 16 when x = 12. Enter the constant of variation in lowest terms. y = x

1 answer:

5 0

k = 1.33 or 1 1/3

Formula of Direct variation. Where y is equal to the product of the constant of variation times x.

y = kx
16 = k * 12
k = 16/12
k = 1 4/12 = 1 1/3

Constant of variation is 1 1/3 or 1.33.

Find the length of the arc and express your answer as a fraction times pie

Elina [12.6K]

Solution:

Given a circle of center, A with radius, r (AB) = 6 units

Where, the area, A, of the shaded sector, ABC, is 9π

To find the length of the arc, firstly we will find the measure of the angle subtended by the sector.

To find the area, A, of a sector, the formula is

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times\pi r^2 \\ Where\text{ r}=AB=6\text{ units} \\ A=9\pi\text{ square units} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the values of the variables into the formula above to find the angle, θ, subtended by the sector.

$\begin{gathered} 9\pi=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times\pi\times6^2 \\ Crossmultiply \\ 9\pi\times360=36\pi\times\theta \\ 3240\pi=36\pi\theta \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 36}\pi \\ \frac{3240\pi}{36\pi}=\frac{36\pi\theta}{36\pi} \\ 90\degree=\theta \\ \theta=90\degree \end{gathered}$

To find the length of the arc, s, the formula is

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{\theta}{360\degree}\times2\pi r \\ Where \\ \theta=90\degree \\ r=6\text{ units} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the variables into the formula to find the length of an arc, s above

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{\theta}{360}\times2\pi r \\ s=\frac{90\degree}{360\degree}\times2\times\pi\times6 \\ s=\frac{12\pi}{4}=3\pi\text{ units} \\ s=3\pi\text{ units} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the length of the arc, s, is 3π units.

Simplify -19 – 1 + (–24)

IrinaK [193]

First subtract -19 - 1 = -20

Next, + (-24) is the same as just simply subtracting 24

-20 - 24

Subtract that and you get -44

List the angles of triangle ABC in order from smallest to largest measure if AB = 9, AC = 11, and BC = 10.

galben [10]

Across smallest side- smallest angle.
across largest side- largest angle
largest side is AC, so largest angle is B
smallest side is AB, so smallest angle is C
angles from smallest to largest : C, A, B
