Y varies jointly with w and z inversely with x. If y=36, when x=14, w=7 and z=8. Then what is y when x=20, w=16, and z=10?

1 answer:

7 0

Y = kwz / x

36 = k*7*8 / 14 = 56k/14 = 4k

k = 36 / 4 = 9

so equation is y = 9wz/x

when x=20,w=16 and z=10:-

y= 9* 16*10 / 20 = 72

Which equation represents a function of x that is not linear?

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

y = 4x+3x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For an equation to be linear, x must have a power of 1

y = 4x+3x^2 has a power of x that is not x ( x^2) so this is not linear ( it is quadratic)

Marisol is painting on a canvas that has an area of 180 square inches. The length of the painting is 11/4 times the width. What

Alona [7]

Notice the picture below, see the length "l"?

well $\bf Area=l\times w\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=\frac{11}{4}w\\
Area=180
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\
180=\cfrac{11}{4}w\times w$

solve for "w", to find the width,

what's the length? well, l = 11/4 w
