Determine whether each pair of ratios are equivalent. Explain (3/5),(9/15)

1 answer:

6 0

Multiple both ratios by a least common denominator
the least common denominator for both is 15
multiply the first ratio by 3/3
9/15=9/15
both are equal because when multiplying by the least common denominator you get the same answer

If y varies directly as the x^2 and y = 200 when x = 5, what is the value of y when x = -3?

gayaneshka [121]

As the variation is direct we have:
$y = kx ^ 2
$
We must find the value of k.
For this, we use the following data:
y = 200 when x = 5
Substituting values we have:
$200 = k5 ^ 2
$
Clearing k:
$k = 200/5 ^ 2

k = 200/25

k = 8$
Then, the function is:
$y = 8x ^ 2
$
We evaluate the function for x = -3
$y = 8 (-3) ^ 2

y = 8 (9)

y = 72$
Answer:
the value of y when x = -3 is:
c.
72
