Answer:

the constant of variation,  k= 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

if m varies directly as p, and m=5 when p=7, what is the constant of variation

m varies directly as p, so equation becomes

m = kp , where k is the constant of proportionality

m=5 when p=7, we need to find out k

Plug in the given values and find out k

m=k * p

5= k * 7

Divide by 7 on both sides

so k= 5/7

For direct relations, we can write:
m = kp; k is the constant of proportionality.
5 = 7k
k = 5/7
The constant of variation is 5/7.

Answer:

7x^{2}-2x-12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The standard form of the quadratic equation is equal to ax^{2} +bx+c=0

we have

(5x^{2}-3x-2)-(-2x^{2}-x+10)

eliminate the parenthesis

5x^{2}-3x-2+2x^{2}+x-10

group terms that contain the same variable

(5x^{2}+2x^{2})+(-3x+x)+(-2-10)

combine like terms

7x^{2}-2x-12=0
