Answer:
The constant of proportionality is
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities
- If x and y are in directly proportion, then
, where k is the constant of proportionality.
- The direct proportion can be represented by a line whose equation is y = kx, where k is the slope of the line.
<em>To find the constant of proportionality from the given graph choose a point on the line and substitute x and y in the equation of the proportionality by the coordinates of the point.</em>
∵ Point (4, 18) lies on the line
∴ x = 4, y = 18
∵ The equation is y = kx
→ Substitute x by 4 and y by 18
∴ 18 = k(4)
∴ 18 = 4k
→ Divide both sides by 4 to find k
∴ 
∴ 
→ Simplify the fraction by dividing up and down by 2
∴ 
∴ The constant of proportionality is
We have that every quarter, he will get an 0.8% interest rate. We also have that there will be 14*4=56 periods of repayment. We have that by the formula, if there are n periods and x% is the interest rate, the capital is multiplied by (100+x%)^n.
Suppose Micah invests x money. Then, we have that after 14 years, the capital available will be C=

. We have that C=18500$ and hence that 18500=x*1.562. Thus, solving for x we have that x=11841$.
Micah will need to invest only 11841$ in order to pay for his boat; this shows the importance of saving since he earns a lot of money, around 7k $.
3y i'm not sure if thats right but thats what i got hope this helps

Let the first number be n
n

)
=
112
simplifies to
2
n
=
110
divide by two
n
=
