z is directly proportional to x: z = kx.

If z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y, then z = Kx/y.

When x= 6 and y = 6, z is 12. Find the constant of proportionality, K:

12 = K(6/6), or K = 12

Then, in general, z = 12x/y.

What is z when x=13 and y=10? z = 12(13)/(10) = 15.6 (answer)

Use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of the following equation.

kvv77 [185]

Discussion

The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c

The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c

In this equation's case

a = 1

b= -5

c = - 3

Solve

(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)

25 - (-12)

25 + 12

Note

Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.

Which property was used to simplify the expression?<br><br> (3z)^2 = 3^2z^2 = 9z^2

svet-max [94.6K]

One of the product rules for exponents was used.
$(ab)^{c}=a^{c}b^{c}$

Or, you can consider that the definition of an exponent and the associative and commutative properties of multiplication were used.
$(3z)^{2}\\=(3z)(3z)\\=3\cdot 3\cdot z\cdot z\\=3^{2}z^{2}\\=9z^{2}$
