Answer:

z = $\frac{20}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that z varies directly with x and inversely with y then the equation relating them is

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

To find k use the condition when x = 6 and y = 2, z = 15, thus

15 = $\frac{6k}{2}$ ( multiply both sides by 2 )

30 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

5 = k

z = $\frac{6x}{y}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 4 and y = 9, then

z = $\frac{5(4)}{9}$ = $\frac{20}{9}$

Find the roots of the parabola given by the following equation <br> 2x^2+5X-9=2x

natta225 [31]

Answer:

$x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parabola has equation

$2x^2+5x-9=2x$

We rewrite in standard form to obtain:

$2x^2+5x-2x-9=0$

$2x^2+3x-9=0$

Split the middle terms to get:

$2x^2+6x-3x-9=0$

Factor by grouping:

$2x(x+3)-3(x+3)=0$

$(x+3)(2x-3)=0$

$x=-3\:or\:x=\frac{3}{2}$

Greg has four different colored cards in a box. Yellow, red, blue, and green. He randomly selects one card, records the color, a

Veronika [31]

Answer:

He should expect to select 75 yellow cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is replacement, for each trial, we have:

1 yellow card

1 red card

1 blue card

1 green card.

If Greg does this 300 times, how many yellow cards should he expect to select?

Each trial, there are 4 cards, one of which is yellow. So 1/4 = 0.25 probability of selecting a yellow card.

Over 300 trials

0.25*300 = 75

He should expect to select 75 yellow cards.
