It's y=kx. But 'k' is any constant. So my 'k' can easily be 1/(your k). The key is that when 'x' or 'y' increases by some factor, the other one also increases, by some constant multiple of the same factor. If so, then they're proportional.

Please help! Area of part of a circle!!!
Helga [31]

The sector (shaded segment + triangle) makes up 1/3 of the circle (which is evident from the fact that the labeled arc measures 120° and a full circle measures 360°). The circle has radius 96 cm, so its total area is π (96 cm)² = 9216π cm². The area of the sector is then 1/3 • 9216π cm² = 3072π cm².

The triangle is isosceles since two of its legs coincide with the radius of the circle, and the angle between these sides measures 120°, same as the arc it subtends. If b is the length of the third side in the triangle, then by the law of cosines

b² = 2 • (96 cm)² - 2 (96 cm)² cos(120°)   ⇒   b = 96√3 cm

Call b the base of this triangle.

The vertex angle is 120°, so the other two angles have measure θ such that

120° + 2θ = 180°

since the interior angles of any triangle sum to 180°. Solve for θ :

2θ = 60°

θ = 30°

Draw an altitude for the triangle that connects the vertex to the base. This cuts the triangle into two smaller right triangles. Let h be the height of all these triangles. Using some trig, we find

tan(30°) = h / (b/2)   ⇒   h = 48 cm

Then the area of the triangle is

1/2 bh = 1/2 • (96√3 cm) • (48 cm) = 2304√3 cm²

and the area of the shaded segment is the difference between the area of the sector and the area of the triangle:

3072π cm² - 2304√3 cm² ≈ 5660.3 cm²

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a
VMariaS [17]
(a) If y(t) is the mass (in mg) remaining after t years, then y(t) = y(0) e^{kt}=100e^{kt}.

y(30) = 100 e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2}(100) \implies e^{30k} = \frac{1}{2} \implies k = -(\ln 2) /30 \implies \\ \\
y(t) = 100e^{-(\ln 2)t/30} = 100 \cdot 2^{-t/30}

(b) y(100) = 100 \cdot 2^{-100/30} \approx \text{9.92 mg}

(c)
100 e^{- (\ln 2)t/30} = 1\ \implies\ -(\ln 2) t / 30 = \ln \frac{1}{100}\ \implies\ \\ \\
t = -30 \frac{\ln 0.01}{\ln 2} \approx \text{199.3 years}

julsineya [31]
You use pi times radius squared. Pi 15 squared=706.858 then take 706.858 and multiply it by the depth of 12. 706.858×12=8482.3 Cm squared. 8482.3 cm to liters is about 8.5 liters
