If y varies directly as x^2 and y = 144 when x = 4, what is the value of y when x = -5?

True [87]3 years ago
6 0
As the variation is direct then we have the following expression:
 y = kx ^ 2

 From here, we clear the value of k.
 For this we use the following data:
 y = 144 when x = 4
 Substituting values:
 144 = k4 ^ 2

 Clearing k we have:
 k = 144/4 ^ 2

k = 144/16

k = 9
 Then, the function is:
 y = 9x ^ 2

 When x = -5 we have:
 y = 9 (-5) ^ 2

y = 9 (25)

Y = 225
 Answer:
 
the value of y when x = -5 is:
 
b.
 
225

Susan is writing a linear equation for the cost of her cell phone plan. In the first month, she talks for 52 minutes and is char
Alex787 [66]
Assuming that the cost per minute is the same for both months and the plan fee is the same, you can use y=mx+b for this

y is the cost of the phone plan, x is the cost per minute and b is the start cost.

so    19.41=25x+b for the first month
and  45.65=380x+b for the second month

solve both for b you get:
19.41-25x=b and 45.65-380x=b.  from this we get
19.41-25x=45.65-380x

solve for x

328x=26.24 and x=0.08

this means the cost per minute is 0.08c/min (answer A)

rewrite the equation to calculate b, and where this time, the x is the number of minutes talked.

y=0.08x+b and plug in one of the two months

45.65=0.08 * 380 + b

Solve for b and b is 15.25

so the final equation is

y=0.08x+15.25  (answer B)

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Only one circle can be drawn through three non nonlinear points, No circle can be drawn through three nonlinear points

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle has a curve. As long as the three non nonlinear points both have the same amount of distance from the center of the circle it can be a circle drawn. No circle can be drawn through three points on the line.
