Answer:

  • x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds.

Explanation:

The table is:

AIRPLANE LIFTING FORCE

Area of Wings   Lifting Force

(square feet)        (pounds)

    125                    1,875

    150                   2,250

    175                   2,625

    250                  3,750

       x                    5,625

    420                      y

The ratio of lifting force to the area is equivalent for all pairs in the table. What are the values of x and y?

<u>1. Calculate x:</u>

Ratio of lifting force to the area for the first pair (row):

  • 125/1,875

Ratio of lifting force to area for the pair with x:

  • x/5,625

Set the proportion:

Equal the two ratios

  • x/5,625 = 125/1,875

Multiply both sides by 5,625 (multiplication property of equalities):

  • x = 5,625 × 125/1,875
  • x = 375 ← answer

<u>2. Calculate y:</u>

You can use the same know ratio for the first pair: 125/1,875

And set the corresponding proportion, with y:

  • 420/y = 125/1,875

Invert both sides:

  • y/420 = 1,875/125

Multiply both sides by 420

  • y = 420 × 1,875/125
  • y = 6,300 ← answer

The answer is x = 375 square feet and y = 6,300 pounds.

Answer:

Choice B: Only (-2, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the two choices, only the point (-2, 9) satisfies the equation:

... y = -2x +5

... 9 = -2(-2) +5 = 4 +5 = 9

Match each expression on the left with an equivalent expression on the right
Lana71 [14]
Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
You didn't give the expressions but here are some expressions
a. ✓4x²y^4. 1. 2x✓y
b. ✓8x²y. 2. 2y✓2x
c. ✓4x²y. 3. 2xy²
d. ✓16xy². 4. 2x✓2y
e. ✓8xy². 5. 4y✓x
a. ✓4x²y^4 = ✓4 × ✓x² × ✓y^4
= 2 × x × y²
= 2xy²
Therefore, ✓4x²y^4 = 2xy²
b. ✓8x²y = ✓8 × ✓x² × ✓y
= ✓4 × ✓2 × ✓x² × ✓y
= 2 × ✓2 × x × ✓y
= 2x✓2y
Therefore, ✓8x²y = 2x✓2y
c. ✓4x²y = ✓4 × ✓x² × ✓y
= 2 × x × ✓y
= 2x✓y
Therefore, ✓4x²y = 2x✓y
d. ✓16xy² = ✓16 × ✓x × ✓y²
= 4 × ✓x × y
= 4y✓x
Therefore, ✓16xy² = 4y✓x
e. ✓8xy² = ✓8 × ✓x × ✓y²
= ✓4 × ✓2 × ✓x × ✓y²
