Answer:

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u><em>and the line passes through the origin</em></u>

In this problem we have

$y=3x+5$

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

the slope is m=5

the y-intercept is b=5

Remember that in a proportional relationship the value of b must be equal to zero (because the line passes through the origin)

therefore

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Evaluate the function f(x)=4x^2-10+2 find f(-7)

likoan [24]

Answer:

188

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x² - 10+2

f(-7) = 4x² - 10 + 2

= 4(-7)² - 10 + 2

= 4 (49) - 10 + 2

= 196 - 10 + 2

= 188

Formulate the situation as a system of two linear equations in two variables. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- an

slega [8]

Answer:

1) There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) The solution in x = 4, y = 9.

3) There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A lawyer has found 60 investors for a limited partnership to purchase an inner-city apartment building, with each contributing either $4,000 or $8,000. If the partnership raised $348,000, then how many investors contributed $4,000 and how many contributed $8,000?

I am going to say that:

x is the number of investors that contributed 4,000.

y is the number of investors that contributed 8,000.

Building the system:

There are 60 investors. So:

$x + y = 60$

In all, the partnership raised $348,000. So:

$4000x + 8000y = 348000$

I am going to simplify by 4000. So:

$x + 2y = 87$

Solving the system:

The elimination method is a method in which we can transform the system such that one variable can be canceled by addition. So:

$1)x + y = 60$

$2)x + 2y = 87$

I am going to multiply 1) by -1. So we have

$1)-x - y = -60$

$2)x + 2y = 87$

By addition, the x are going to cancel each other

$-x + x - y + 2y = -60 + 87$

$y = 27$

For x:

$x + y = 60$

$x = 60-y = 60-27 = 33$

There were 33 $4,000 investors and 27 $8,000 investors.

2) Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix.

$2x + y = 17$

$x + y = 13$

This system has the following augmented matrix:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&17\\1&1&13\end{array}\right]$

To help the row reducing, i am going to swap the first with the second line:

$L1 L2$

So we have:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\2&1&17\end{array}\right]$

Now, reducing the first column.

$L2 = L2 - 2L1$

So we have:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&-1&-9\end{array}\right]$

Now we do:

$L2 = -L2$

And the matrix is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&13\\0&1&9\end{array}\right]$

Now to reduce the second column, we do:

$L1 = L1 - L2$

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&4\\0&1&9\end{array}\right]$ .

So the solution is:

x = 4, y = 9.

3) A jar contains 80 nickels and dimes worth $6.80. How many of each kind of coin are in the jar?

I am going to say that x is the number of nickels and y is the number of dimes.

Each nickel is worth 5 cents and each dime is worth 10 cents.

Building the system:

There are 80 coins in all:

$x + y = 80$

They are worth $6.80. So:

$0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80$

Solving the system:

$1)x + y = 80$

$2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80$

I am going to divide 1) by -10, so we can cancel y. So:

$1)-0.10x - 0.10y = -8$

$2)0.05x + 0.10y = 6.80$

Adding:

$-0.10x + 0.05x - 0.10y + 0.10y = -8 + 6.80$

$-0.05x = -1.2$ *(-100)

$5x = 120$

$x = \frac{120}{5}$

$x = 24$

Also

$x + y = 80$

$y = 80-x = 80-24 = 56$

There were 24 nickels and 56 dimes.

Jade says that the absolute value of a number and the opposite of a number is the same thing. Is Jade correct? Use examples to h

avanturin [10]

Answer:

No, the absolute value of a number is different from the opposite.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the absolute value of 4 is 4.

l4l = 4

But the opposite of 4 is -4.

Absolute value is ALWAYS positive, but the opposite of a positive number is a negative number.

If 5 ibs apples cost $2.99, how much would 3 ibs cost?

AnnZ [28]

We know that 5 lbs of apples cost $2.99

To know how much do 3 lbs of apple cost, you can use cross multiplication

If 5 lbs cost $2.99

Then 3 lbs cost $x

The proportion between the price and the number of apples is the same, you have to calculate it as:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2.99}{5}=\frac{x}{3} \\ (\frac{2.99}{5})\cdot3=x \\ x=1.794 \end{gathered}$

3 lbs of apples cost $1.79
