Answer:

0.448 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

d = -16t² -4t + 412

find t when d = 407

substituting d = 407 into the equation:

407 = -16t² -4t + 412 (subtract 407 from both sides)

-16t² -4t + 412 - 407 = 0

-16t² -4t + 5 = 0 (multiply both sides by -1)

16t² + 4t - 5 = 0  

solving using your method of choice (i.e completing the square or using the quadratic equation), you will end up with

t = (-1/8) (1 + √21)= -0.70 seconds (not possible because time cannot be negative)

or

t = (-1/8) (1 -√21) = 0.448 seconds (answer)

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the equation for direct variation is y=kx where y varies directly with x and k is the constant of proportionality. If we take any listed coordinate point, we can determine the value of k. I will use (20,120) as an example:

y=kx\\\\120=k(20)\\\\6=k

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 6
