What is the relationship between the two constants of proportionality?

1 answer:

We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.

The area of triangle formed by points of intersection of parabola y=a(x−1)(x−4) with the coordinate axes is 3. Find a if it is k

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The value of a will be $a=-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by graphing the parabola and the three points of the triangle. These points are at intersections of y=a(x-1)(x-4) and the axes

so the y = 0 points are (1,0) and (4,0).

The x = 0 intersection is when y=a(-1)(-4) or (0,4a)

The base and height of this triangle are

The base would be the distance between the y=0 intersections and the height would be the y value of the other vertex.

Hence, base=3 units and height = 4a units. Thus, area can be calculated as

$A = \frac{1}{2}\times b\times h =\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 4a = 3$

$a=\frac{1}{2}$

∵ the parabola opens downward therefore a will be negative.

hence, $a=-\frac{1}{2}$

June went swimming 6 days this week. she swam for 288 minutes in all. if june swam the same number of minutes on each of 6 days,

Sphinxa [80]

If June went swimming for the same number of minutes for 6 days, June swam 48 minutes every day for 6 days. Given the equation: 288 (total number of minutes June swam) ÷ 6 (number of days) = 48 minutes each day.

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 34 inches and an area of 306 square inches. What is the length of the base of the pan

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The length of the base is 9 inches because area= basexheight which makes the base=270/30 in other words 9.
