Answer:

k = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y vary inversely then the equation connecting them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 6 when x = 7

k = yx = 6 × 7 = 42

A square has side length of 9 in. If the area is doubled, what happens to the side length?

Alika [10]

Answer:

The side length is multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the original square is equal to

$A=9^{2}=81\ in^{2}$

If the area is doubled

then

The area of the larger square is

$A1=(2)81=162\ in^{2}$

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

z ----> the scale factor

x ----> the area of the larger square

y ---> the area of the original square

$z^{2}=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=162\ in\^{2}$

$y=81\ in\^{2}$

$z^{2}=\frac{162}{81}$

$z^{2}=2$

$z=\sqrt{2}$ ------> scale factor

therefore

The side length is multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. x2 + x - 20 = 0

Mila [183]

Δ = 1 + 4*20 = 81
x' = (-1 + 9)/2 = 4
x'' = (-1 - 9)/2 = -5
4² + 4 - 20 = 0
(-5)² - 5 - 20 = 0
Ok !

Answer:

C - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Put in '3 ' for 'x' in both of the equations....then multiply the results together

f(3) = 3 (3)^2 - 5 = 22

g(3) = -1

22 * -1 = -22
