If y varies directly as x^2 and y=12 when x=2, find y when x=5

1 answer:

7 0

$y=ax^2\\\\y=12\ \ \ and\ \ \ x=2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 12=a\cdot 2^2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ a= \frac{4}{12}= \frac{1}{3} \\\\y=\frac{1}{3} x^2\\\\x=5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=\frac{1}{3} \cdot5^2=\frac{25}{3} =8\frac{1}{3}$

Convert 1 cal/(m^2 * sec * °C) into BTU/(ft^2 * hr * °F)

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Convert $1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}$ into $\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Solution :

We convert units one by one,

$1\text{ m}^2=10.7639\text{ ft}^2$

$1\text{ sec}=\frac{1}{3600}\text{ hour}$

$1\text{ cal}=0.003968\text{ BTU}$

Converting temperature unit,

$^\circ C\times \frac{9}{5}+32=^\circ F$

$1^\circ C\times \frac{9}{5}+32=33.8^\circ F$

So, $1^\circ C=33.8^\circ F$

Substitute all the values in the unit conversion,

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=\frac{0.003968}{10.7639\times \frac{1}{3600}\times 33.8}\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=\frac{0.003968}{0.101061}\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

$1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

Therefore, The conversion of unit is $1\ \frac{\text{cal}}{m^2\times sec\times ^\circ C}=0.03926\frac{\text{BTU}}{ft^2\times hr\times ^\circ F}$

What is the sum of the 12th square number and the 6th square number?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

The 12 th square number is

12² = 12 × 12 = 144

The 6 th square number is

6² = 6 × 6 = 36

Thus

sum = 144 + 36 = 180
