$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=\frac{1}{2}\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}=k2\implies \cfrac{1}{4}=k
\\\\\\
\boxed{y=\cfrac{1}{4}x}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x=3, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot 3$

A person gets on a Ferris wheel at the starting point. The starting point is 15 feet off the ground. The Ferris wheel has a radi

lisov135 [29]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel</em> equals <em>the starting point is 15 feet off the ground </em><em>plus </em><em>the radius of the Ferris wheel </em><em>plus </em><em>the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC </em>(See figure below).<em> </em>Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle $11\pi /2=165^{\circ}$ , therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:

$\overline{BC}=\overline{AB}sin(75^{\circ})=50sin(75^{\circ})=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})$

Finally, the height is:

$H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+15+50 \\ \\ \boxed{H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

The linear equation c = 0.1998s + 76.4520 models the number of calories, c, in a beef hot dog as a function of the amount of sod

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The slope of the linear equation is 0.1998, and it means that the calories in a beef hot dog is increasing with the rate of 0.1998 calories per milligram of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using y = mx + b, we know that m represents the slope.
Looking at the equation of c = 0.1998s + 76.4520, our m is equal to 0.1998.
This slope means that the rate is increasing by 0.1998 calories for every milligram of sodium.
