If x is directly proportional to y and x = 6 when y = 18, what is x when y = 24?

If x is directly proportional to y, it means that as x increase, y also increases and vice versa. This could be done another way. Since I am already given a point of x and y, I could simply find the difference between x and y, which would be 12 in this case. To find the x value when y is 24, I would simply either add or subtract that difference. Depending on which of the x or y value is higher. In this case, since we are solving for y and y is larger than x, I would subtract it. Meaning x would be 12.

Answer:

  • 5(x +1.5)^2
  • 10(x +1)^2
  • 1/4(x +2)^2
  • 3(x +5/6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

When your desired form is expanded, it becomes ...

  a(x +b)^2 = a(x^2 +2bx +b^2) = ax^2 +2abx +ab^2

This tells you the overall factor (a) is the leading coefficient of the given trinomial. Factoring that out, you can find b as the root of the remaining constant.

a) 5x^2 +15x +11.25 = 5(x^2 +3x +2.25) = 5(x +1.5)^2

b) 10x^2 +20x +10 = 10(x^2 +2x +1) = 10(x +1)^2

c) 1/4x^2 +x +1 = 1/4(x^2 +4x +4) = 1/4(x +2)^2

d) 3x^2 +5x +25/12 = 3(x^2 +5/3x +25/36) = 3(x +5/6)^2

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you know beforehand that the expressions can be factored this way, finding the two constants (a, b) is an almost trivial exercise. It gets trickier when you're trying to write a general expression in vertex form (this form with an added constant). For that, you must develop the value of b from the coefficient of the linear term inside parentheses.

F(x)=1/2x+4 For R={5,6,7,8}
anzhelika [568]

Hey there!!

Remember : R = range and f ( x ) = y and y = range

R : { 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 }

( 1 ) 5 = 1 x / 2 + 4

... 5 - 4 = x / 2

... 1 = x / 2

... x = 2 = ( 2 , 5 )

( 2 ) 6 = x / 2 + 4

... 2 = x / 2

... x = 4 = ( 4 , 6 )

( 3 ) 7 = x / 2 + 4

... 3 = x / 2

... x = 6 = ( 6 , 7 )

( 4 ) 8 = x /2 + 4

... 4 = x/2

... x = 8 = ( 8 , 8 )

Hope my answer helps!

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

5) Regular decagon. 6) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 6 is yes bc the interior angles of a triangle have to equal 180, and 1+2+177 equals 180.

A package states that there are 60 calories in 12 crackers and 75 calories in 15 crackers. Since the relationship is proportiona
AveGali [126]

Answer:

900 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the unit rate, how many calories are there in ONE cracker? To find that you have to divide 60 ÷ 12 = 5 and to check with the other one, 75 ÷ 15 = 5

So, one cracker is 5 calories. Now, how many calories are in 180 crackers? You multiply, 180 x 5 = 900

That means there are 900 calories in 180 crackers.

Hope that helps and have a great day!
