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.

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series?
nikitadnepr [17]
An infinite geometric series is the sum of an infinite geometric sequence . This series would have no last term. The general form of the infinite geometric series is a1+a1r+a1r2+a1r3+... , where a1 is the first term and r is the common ratio. We can find the sum of all finite geometric series.

What is the percent of change in 6 yards to 36 yards
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The percent of change in 6 yards to 36 yards is 500% .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Change\ in\ value\times 100}{initial\ value}

Where

Change in value = Final value - initial value

As given

The percent of change in 6 yards to 36 yards.

Final value = 36 yards

initial value = 6 yards

Change in value = 36 - 6

                           = 30 yards

Put in the formula

Percentage = \frac{30\times 100}{6}

Percentage = \frac{3000}{6}

Percentage = 500%

Therefore the percent of change in 6 yards to 36 yards is 500% .
