If y varies inversely as x and y=40 when x=5, then the constant is

Mathematics

The constant is 200.

Further explanation:

An inverse propertion states that if one quantity increases the other decreases and vice versa.

It can also be written as:

if y varies inversely with x

then

y∝1/x

y=k/x

When the proportionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced

Given

y=40

x=5

Putting in equation

40=\frac{k}{5}\\k=40*5\\k=200

The constant is 200.

What is the answer to the following equation?<br>-x • 3x=?
Darina [25.2K]
The answer is -3 because:
A negative times a postive stays negative and also:
the variable "x" has an invisible one in front of it, so,
-1 x 3 = -3

Hope this helps :)

They have a rectangle ABCD as shown below, where AB = 24cm BC = 10cm and AE = 13cm
alex41 [277]

Answer:

A. Area of ABCD = 240 cm^{2}

B. 60 cm

C. 36 cm

D. 50 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB = 24cm BC = 10cm and AE = 13cm.

A.  Since a rectangle is a 2 dimensional figure, it has no volume but area.

So that,

the area of the rectangle ABCD = length x width

                                                     = 24 x 10

                                                     = 240 cm^{2}

B. To calculate the circumference of the BCD triangle, apply the Pythagoras theorem to determine BD.

BD^{2} = BC^{2} + DC^{2}

       = 10^{2} + 24^{2}

       = 676

BD = \sqrt{676}

     = 26

BD = 26 cm

so that,

the circumference of BCD = 10 + 24 + 26

                                         =   60 cm

C. To calculate the circumference of the BEC triangle,

AC = 26 cm, AE = 13 cm

CE = 26 - 13

     = 13 cm

CE = 13 cm

The circumference of the BEC triangle = 13 + 13 + 10

                                                                 = 36 cm

D. The circumference of the DEC triangle = 13 + 13 + 24

                                                                 = 50 cm

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Right angled triangle

Solve for hypotenuse

This is the formula <em>c=√(a^2+b^2)</em> so pug in the numbers a=24 b=7 √(24^2 + 7^2)=c=25

Answer:

<u>The difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability is 0.08 (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth) or 8%.</u>

Correct statement and question:

Regina has a bag of 6 orange marbles and 6 black marbles. She picks a marble at random and then puts it back in the bag. She does this 24 times. The results can be found in the table.

Outcome Tally

Orange  10

Black     14

Figure out the percent error of pulling a black marble in Regina’s experiment. Show your work and round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

Source:

Previous question that can be found at brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of orange marbles = 6

Number of black marbles = 6

Number of times of the experiment = 24

Number of times the outcome was an orange marble = 10

Number of times the outcome was a black marble  = 14

2. Figure out the percent error of pulling a black marble in Regina’s experiment. Show your work and round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

The theoretical probability of pulling a black marble is 12/24 or 0.5, given that the number of orange and black marbles are equal and actually, the experimental probability is 14/24 or 0.5833.

We can't describe this difference as an "error". What happened here is that there is a difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability.

0.5833 - 0.5 = 0.0833 = 0.08 (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth)

<u>The difference between the experimental probability and the theoretical probability is 0.08 (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth) or 8%.</u>
