Find the integer a such that a.a ≡ 43 (mod 23) and −22 ≤ a ≤ 0.

1 answer:

8 0

Given that a is an integer from -22 to 0 such that a is equivalent to 43 (mod 23).

Such a can be obtained as follows:

a = 43 (mod 23) - 23 = 20 - 23 = -3.

Therefore, a = -3.

suppose that y varies directly as x . if y is 24 when x is 6, find the constant of variation and the direct variation equation

Reika [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation can be modeled by y = kx where k is the constant of variation!

So to solve for k all we need to do is substitute in the value for y and x that are given.

So according to the problem y = 24 when x = 6

24 = 6k

Divide both sides by 6

k = 4

So the constant of variation is 4

The direct variation equation would then be

y = 4x
