Answer:

answer is {-4.42, 12.54}

Step-by-step explanation:

v^2 - 8v - 59 = -2

v^2 - 8v = 57

(v - 4)^2 - 16 = 57

(v - 4)^2 = 73

Taking square roots:-

v - 4 = +/- √73

v = √73 + 4 or - √73 + 4

v = -4.54 , 12.54

On Naomi's cell phone plan, the amount she pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of inte

Lostsunrise [7]

A) The constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is $k = \frac{y}{x}$

B) The equation to represent this proportional relationship is y = 0.2x

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that,

The amount Naomi pays each month for international text messages is proportional to the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

This is a direct variation proportion

$\text{ amount Naomi pays each month } \propto \text{ number of international texts she sends that month}$

Let "y" be the amount that Naomi pays each month

Let "x" be the number of international texts she sends that month

Therefore,

$y \propto x$

y = kx -------- eqn 1

Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality

Thus the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship is:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

Last month, she paid $3.20 for 16 international texts

Therefore,

y = 3.20

x = 16

Thus from eqn 1,

$3.20 = k \times 16\\\\k = \frac{3.20}{16}\\\\k = 0.2$

Substitute k = 0.2 in eqn 1

y = 0.2x

The equation would then be y = 0.2x

a rectangular prism is completely packed with 84 cubes of edge length 1 over 3 inch without any gap or overlap

Dominik [7]

The volume of a cube is s^3, where s is the length of a side.

If you have 84 cubes with sides of 1/3 in, the total volume is:

V=84(1/3)^3 in^3

V=84/27 in^3

V=28/9 in^3

V≈3.11 in^3 (to nearest hundredth of a cubic inch)
