Is y=7.5x a proportional relationship and why

Mathematics

DerKrebs [107]3 years ago

Direct Proportion functions look like this:

y=kx

'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.

--------------------------------------------

When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5

Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

--------------------------------------

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:

Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.

INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:

If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.

T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)

Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.

When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.

We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>

Can anyone help with this?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

111 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the total degrees in a hexagon is 720 degrees.

the known angles add up to 379, so there is 341 degrees left.

angle KFE is 105 degrees because it adds up to 180 degrees with GFK.

angle LAD is 130 degrees because it adds up to 180 degrees with BAD.

130+105=230, so there is now 111 degrees left and that is angle x

Sine, cosine, and tangent to calculate the height of the buildings in the diagram below.
DiKsa [7]

Answer: Around 68.0858 m

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Set the height of 37°-53°-90° triangle as x
  • Set the height of 50°-40°-90° triangle as y
  • The horizontal side both triangles share = 35

To find x                            To find y  

tan(37)=\frac{x}{35} \\\\35tan(37)=x\\\\x=26.37439...                     tan(50)=\frac{y}{35} \\\\35tan(50)=y\\\\y=41.7113757...

To find the height of the building, add the x-value and y-value:

x+y=26.3744+41.7114=68.0858  

<em>I hope this is correct o_o</em>
