If y is directly proportional to x and y = 11 when x = 6 , what is the value of y when x = 9

1 answer:

3 0

Since we are given that y is directly proportional to x and that when y = 11, x equals 6, we can set up a proportion. Before doing that however, we need to note that the question is asking for the value of y when x = 9. Here is the equation:
$\frac{11}{6} = \frac{y}{9}$
Now, just cross multiply and solve for y to get a value of 16.5. Therefore, the value of y when x = 9 is 16.5. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

Tamara and Clyde got different answers when dividing 2x4 + 7x3 – 18x2 + 11x – 2 by 2x2 – 3x + 1. Analyze their individual work.

Note: As you may have unintentionally missed to add the different answers, based on which we had to check who solved correctly between Tamara and Clyda's work.

But, I am actually solving the expression and you must note that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the same answer or match the answer with mine, would be the one who solved correctly.

Answer:

We conclude that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the answer as $x^2+5x-2$ after dividing $2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$ by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$ , would be the one who solved it correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$

Lets divide the expression by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$

Solution Steps:

$\frac{2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2}{2x^2-3x+1}$

Factorizing

$2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2:\quad \left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)$

$\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{2x^2-3x+1}$

Factorizing

$2x^2-3x+1:\quad \left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)$

$\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(2x-1\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)}{\left(2x-1\right)\left(x-1\right)}:\quad x^2+5x-2$

$x^2+5x-2$

Thus,

$\frac{2x^4+7x^3-18x^2+11x-2}{2x^2-3x+1}=x^2+5x-2$

Therefore, we conclude that whoever (between Tamara and Clyda's work) may have got the answer as $x^2+5x-2$ after dividing $2x^4\:+\:7x^3\:-\:18x^2\:+\:11x\:-\:2$ by $2x^2\:-\:3x\:+\:1$ , would be the one who solved it correctly.

Which pair of equations can be used to solve for x in PQR?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin57° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{PQ}{PR}$ = $\frac{x}{18}$

∠ P = 180° - (90 + 57)° ← sum of angles in triangle

∠ P = 180° - 147° = 33° , then

cos33° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{PQ}{PR}$ = $\frac{x}{18}$

Thus the 2 ratios used to solve for x are A

You are given a line that has a slope of 4 and passed through the point (3/8, 1/2). Which statements about the question of the l

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Statement 1, 2 and 4 are true where as statement 3 is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1: The y-intercept is -1

Point (3/8, 1/2)

Slope = m = 4

y = mx + c

1/2 = 4(3/8) + c

1/2 = 3/2 + c

1/2 = 3/2 + 2c/2

-2 = 2c

c = -1

This statement is true as the y-intercept is -1.

Statement 2: The slope intercept equation is y= 4x - 1

slope = m = 4

y-intercept = c = -1

y = mx + c

y = 4x - 1

This statement is true as the slope intercept equation is y= 4x -1

Statement 3: The point slope equation is y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2)

Point slope equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Points: (x, y) (3/8, 1/2)

y1 = 1/2

x1 = 3/8

Slope = m = 4

y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8)

This statement is not true as the slope intercept equation is y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8) instead of y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2).

Statement 4: The point (3/8, 1/2) corresponds to (x1, y1) in the point slope form of the equation

This statement is true as shown in statement 3's explanation where x1 = 3/8 and y1 = 1/2
