Proportionality indicates how quantity vary in relation with other quantities. There are two types of proportionality, that is direct proportionality where an increase or a decrease in a quantity causes a corresponding increase or decrease in the other variable and inverse proportionality where decrease in a variable causes an increase in the other variable and vicevarsa. In this case the 15 paperclips have a total weight of 2 grams therefore each clip contributes a weight of 0.0133 grams, thus increasing the paperclips also increases the total weight. Thus, the number of paper clips is direct proportional to the total weight

What is the measurement to the calculation to figure the numbers of pi
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

There's a lot of them.

There are many different ways to calculate \pi. The ones used by computers to generate tons of digits are usually infinite series.

The series that has been prominent in recent records for the most digits of pi is the Chudnovsky algorithm.

The algorithm is this:

\frac{1}{\pi}=12\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{\left(6k\right)!\left(545140134k+13591409\right)}{\left(3k\right)!\left(k!\right)^3\left(640320\right)^{3k+\frac{3}{2}}}

For faster performance, it can be simplified to this:

\frac{426880\sqrt{10005}}{\pi}=12\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{\left(6k\right)!\left(545140134k+13591409\right)}{\left(3k\right)!\left(k!\right)^3\left(-262537412640768000\right)^k}

Other algorithms have been used, but right now this is the one that is being used to set the recent records.

There are also some approximations that are used because they are very easy to calculate.

first, \frac{22}{7} can be used to calculate a fairly accurate pi, but a better rational approximation is \frac{355}{113} This fraction is actually accurate to 6 digits and it is the best approximation of \pi in simplest form and with a denominator below 30,000.

There are several other approximations and if you want to learn more I would recommend looking at the Wikipedia page which has tons of algorithms for pi.

Find the equation of this line.<br> [?]<br> x + [ ]<br> y
Leona [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

In a equation of a line

y=mx+c

Let's take two points from the graph (0,1) and (4,3)

Slope=m= (3-1/4-0)= 2/4=1/2

C= 1

y=½x+1
