Because it could be a square root

Because you are adding two numbers (a^2 and b^2) and doing the square root to find the third number. Square roots are not rational unless they are of a perfect square

Help me (fixed)<br> What is the slope of the line on the graph?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

o -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the ratio of rise/run.

We the line passes through (0,3) and (6,0)

Rise = y2 - y1 = 0 - 3 = -3

Run = x2 - x1 = 6 - 0 = 6

Slope = -3/6 = -1/2

y is inversely proportional to a^3. When a=2, y=10. a is directly proportional to x. When x=4, a=20. Find a formula for y in ter
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<h2>y = 16/25x³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is inversely proportional to a^3, this is expressed as;

y∝1/a³

y = k/a³ where k is the proportionality constant

Given a=2, y=10, then 10 = k/2³

k = 10*2³

k = 80

Substituting k = 80 back into the formula;

y = 80/a³ ............. 1

Similarly, if a is directly proportional to x, then a ∝ x i.e a = kx

If x=4, a=20 then;

20 = 4k

k = 20/4

k = 5

Substituting k = 5 back into the formula;

a = 5x ....... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1;

y = 80/a³

y = 80/(5x)³

y = 80/125x³

y = 16/25x³

<em>Hence the formula for y in terms of x is y = 16/25x³</em>
