If y varies directly as x, and y is 6 when x is 72, what is the value of y when x is 8?

Answer:

For the case when x = 8, we have that y = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea that y varies directly as x, can be written in an equation as:

y = k*x, where k is an unknown constant (until now).

We know that y=6 when x=72, then, substituting these values in the above formula gives us the value of k:

6 = k*72, then: k = 6/72 = 1/12.

Now, we can rewrite our initial expression with the known value of k as:

y = (1/12)*x

For the case when x = 8, we have that:

y = (1/12)*8 = 8/12 = 2/3.

Assumption: y=kx then sustitude y=6,x=72 into y=kx
then 12y=x

ollegr [7]

.60 \times 700 = 420 \\ 700 - 420 = 280
First I found the number of adults by multiplying .60 by 700. It was 420. From there all I had to do was subtract it from 700. Revealing the number of children to be 280.

<h3>How to infer the graphical form of a general equation</h3>

In this problem we have <em>general</em> equations of the form A · x² + B · y² + C · x + D · y + E = 0, which have to be modified into <em>standard</em> form to infer its <em>graphical</em> form. This procedure can be done by <em>algebra</em> properties:

16 · x² + 4 · y² + 96 · x - 8 · y + 84 = 0

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x)] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y)] = - 84

[(4 · x)² + 2 · 12 · (4 · x) + 144] + [(2 · y)² - 2 · 2 · (2 · y) + 4] = 64

(4 · x + 12)² + (2 · y + 2)² = 64

4² · (x + 3)² + 2² · (y + 2)² = 64

(x + 3)² / 4 + (y + 2)² / 16 = 1 : Ellipse

x² + y² + 8 · x - 6 · y - 15 = 0

(x² + 8 · x) + (y² - 6 · y) = 15

(x² + 2 · 4 · x + 16) + (y² - 2 · 3 · y + 9) = 40

(x + 4)² + (y - 3)² = 40 : Circle

x² + 6 · x + 4 · y + 5 = 0

x² + 6 · x + 5 = - 4 · y

y = - (1 / 4) · x² - (3 / 2) · x - (5 / 4) : Parabola
