Direct variation is of the form: y=kx  (inverse variation is of the form y=k/x)

Assuming that k is positive :)

y increases as x increases and y decreases as x decreases.  There is a direct ratio that is described by k.  k=y/x.

A climber is standing at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, approximately 3.7 mi above sea level. The radius of the Earth is 3959 mi.
RoseWind [281]
We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi

We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²

Solve for d
d = 171 mi

Which of the following is the solution to the system of equations?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

B (3/4,5/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2- x

\frac{5}{4}  = 2 -  \frac{3}{4}

y = 3x - 1

\frac{5}{4}  = 3 \times  \frac{3}{4}  - 1

\frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{9}{4}  -  \frac{4}{4}

Hope this helps ^-^

\frac { -5jk }{ 35{ j }^{ 2 }{ k }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ =-\frac { 5 }{ 35 } \cdot \frac { j }{ { j }^{ 2 } } \cdot \frac { k }{ { k }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ =-\frac { 1 }{ 7 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ k } \\ \\ =-\frac { 1 }{ 7jk }

Remember that:

\frac { j }{ { j }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot \frac { j }{ j } =\frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot 1=\frac { 1 }{ j } \\ \\ \frac { k }{ { k }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ k } \cdot \frac { k }{ k } =\frac { 1 }{ k } \cdot 1=\frac { 1 }{ k }
