Answer:

756

Step-by-step explanation:

If you recognize that 12 (=8 +8/2) is half-again as much as 8, then you would know that Tom would drive half-again as much as 504 miles. That is, he would drive 504 +504/2 = 504+252 = 756 miles in 12 hours.

Since the rate is constant, you can write a proportion:

d/12 = 504/8 = distance/time

d = (12/8)(504) 1.5×504 = 756

Tom would drive 756 miles in 12 hours at that rate.

Is y=6x-2 proportional

Alexus [3.1K]

Yes, the equation given above is proportional. The variables y and x are directly proportional to each other. <span>Two variables are proportional if a change in one is always accompanied by a change in the other, and if the changes are always related by use of a constant multiplier.</span>

Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph?

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{8}x^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has the formula ax² + bx + c

To determine if a graph will be narrow or wide, the leading coefficient, a, will be the factor that determines this
The greater the coefficient, the narrower the parabola
The lesser the coefficient, the wider the parabola

Here all of the functions are in the form ax²

In $y=\frac{1}{8}x^{2}$ , our "a" term is $\frac{1}{8}$
In y = -2x², our "a" term is -2
In y = -3x², our "a" term is -3
In $y=\frac{1}{3}x^{2}$ , our "a" term is $\frac{1}{3}$

We can eliminate the two functions with the negative coefficients because they are much smaller than the two functions with the fractions as coefficients, and will therefore open much wider.

We can now compare the two remaining functions, $y=\frac{1}{8}x^2$ and $y=\frac{1}{3}x^2$

Giving the two fractions common denominators would turn them into $y = \frac{3}{24}x^2$ and $y=\frac{8}{24} x^2$
The equation with the larger fraction will be the parabola that is the narrowest. In this case, it is the $y=\frac{8}{24} x^2$ .
Therefore, $y=\frac{1}{8}x^2$ will have the narrowest graph
