If y varies directly as x and y = 3 when x = - 9, then find x when y = 5.

3 0

Answer:

d. - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y = kx

We know y =3 when x = -9

3 = k(-9)

Divide by -9

3/-9 = -9k/-9

-1/3 = k

The equation is then

y = -1/3 x

We know y = 5

5 = -1/3 x

Multiply each side by -3

-3*5 = -3*-1/3x

-15 = x

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis. y = 64x−8x^2,
Mandarinka [93]
We need to get the limits first. When y = 0
0 = 64x - 8x^2
x = 0 and x = 8
The volume is
V = ∫ y dx from 0 to 8
V = ∫ (64x - 8x^2) dx from 0 to 8
V = 32x^2 - 8x^3/3 from 0 to 8
V = 682.67<span />

molly ran 2/3 of a mile in 8 minutes . if molly runs at that speed , how long will it take her to run one mile
Tom [10]
It would take her 12 minutes because if you mutipy 2/3 by 3/2 then you get 1 (as in one mile) and then you have to do that to the other side too so then you multiply 8 by 2/3 and get 12

The sum of the measure of the interior angles of a polygon is 1980°. What polygon is it? 10-gon 11-gon 12-gon 13-gon
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

13-gon

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is:

S = 180° (n − 2)

If S = 1980°, then:

1980° = 180° (n − 2)

11 = n − 2

n = 13
