The value of y varies directly with x, and y=3 when x=9 find y when x = 21

Mathematics

Answer: y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) plug in 3 for y and 9 for x in the direct variation formula, which is y = kx

3 = k(9)

Step 2) Solve for k

3 = k(9) (Divide by 9 on both sides)

3/9 = k (Now simplify 3/9)

1/3 = k. So k = 1/3

*just FYI: “k” is the constant of variation.

Step 3) use the equation y = kx and plug in 1/3 for k

y = 1/3x

Step 4) using the equation y = 1/3x, plug in 21 for x.

y = 1/3(21) (1/3*21 is the same as 21/3)

y = 21/3 (21/3 = 7)

y = 7. So that’s you’re answer! When x=21, y=7 because 7 is 1/3 of 21!

Hope this helps! My best wishes to you as you go through school!

A clock has a diameter of 16 inches. how far does the hour hand travel during 5 hours? use 3.14 for pi.
valentina_108 [34]

Distance hour hand travel in 5 hours is 20.94 inches.

<h3>What is a diameter?</h3>
  • A diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has endpoints on the circle in geometry.
  • It is also known as the circle's longest chord.
  • Both definitions apply to the diameter of a sphere.

To find the distance hour hand travel in 5 hours:

  • Let's say the hour hand completed one full round around the clock.
  • If this was the case, it would have been 2\pi×8 inches around.
  • We know that the hour hand only traveled 5 hours around the clock rather than 12, thus our formula is 2\pi×8×( 5/12 ).
  • Distance hour hand travel is 20.94 inches.

Therefore, the distance hour hand travel in 5 hours is 20.94 inches.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 96 ft. Find the dimensions of the rectangle if the ratio of the length to the width is 7 : 5. Wh
Korolek [52]
Lets say we have a rectangle. if the ratio is 7:5, we can put the width as 7x, and the length as 5x (or vice versa, it doesn't really matter.) If the perimeter is solved by 2(h+w), we have 2(7x+5x)=96, or 2(7x)+2(5x)=96, which is C

Which equation represents the function graphed on the coordinate plane?????
Y_Kistochka [10]

Since you haven't provided the graph, I'll explain each one and you choose the one suiting your given.

<u>The parent modulus function is:</u>

g(x) = |x|

It is centered at the origin and opens upwards.

A coefficient inside the modulus |x+k| means that the function is shifted along the x-axis

If "k" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be to the <u>left</u>. If "k" is <u>negative</u>, the shift will be to the <u>right</u>.

A coefficient outside the modulus |x| + h means that the function is shifted along the y-axis

If "h" is <u>positive</u>, the shift will be <u>upwards</u>. If "h" is <u>negative,</u> the shift will be <u>downwards</u>.

<u>Now, let's check each of the options:</u>

<u>g(x) = |x+4| - 2 :</u>

This function is shifted 4 units to the left and 2 units down. It will be centered at (-4,-2). Check the blue graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-4| - 2 :</u>

This function is shifted 4 units to the right and 2 units down. It will be centered at (4,-2). Check the black graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-2| - 4 :</u>

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units down. It will be centered at (2,-4). Check the red graph in the attachment.

<u>g(x) = |x-2| + 4 :</u>

This function is shifted 2 units to the right and 4 units up. It will be centered at (2,4). Check the green graph in the attachment.

All 4 graphs are shown in the attached picture.

Hope this helps :)
