There is a few ways to do this but I am going to use the variation equation.

Variation Equation:
y = kx
First we need to find k, which is the constant of variation
5 = k50
5/50 = k
1/10 = k
k= 1/10

Now that we have found the constant of variation, we can find how much the spring will stretch with 170 pounds.
y = kx
y = (1/10) times 170 = 17 inches

Tanner is an 8th grader in Texas and wants to attend Stanford University after he graduates from
postnew [5]

Tanner will have to save $3,193.34 per month for 4 years to pay his tuition for Stanford.

Tanner's tuition over 4 years to get his Bachelor's degree all together will cost $185,280 (multiply 46,320×4). His parents will pay $32,000 (multiply 8,000×4) of his whole tuition. If we do the equation $185,280-$32,000 we get $153,280 which is what Tanner will have to pay. There are 48 months in 4 years. To find the answer you must solve the problem 48x= $153,280. To solve the problem divide both sides by 48. The answer to this equation is technically $3,193.3333333333 but for simplicity's sake we can round to $3,193.34. That is why the answer to this question is $3,193.34 per month of savings.

Is there a difference between the 80th percentile and the top 80%?
Aleksandr [31]
<span>Actually, yes there is. Being in the 80th percentile means that you are smart than 80% of the people (i.e. out of 100 people, you would be smarter than 80 of them). However being in the top 80% means that you are a part of the 80 smartest people out that same 100. </span>

Michela’s skateboard ramp is at an incline of 40°. When she attempts a trick on the ramp, she finds that it is too steep. She ad
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

22.7604763 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the answer is NOT 20 degrees.

She adjusted the ramp to half the original <em>incline</em>

Therefore we have tan 40 = x = 0.839099631.

We want an incline of y degrees where tan y = x/2 = 0.839099631/2 = 0.419549815

Taking the arctan of both sides, we get

y = arctan(0.419549815) = 22.7604763 degrees
