In the equation y = kx, k represents the constant of proportionality. If the constant is 5, write an equation to represent this

proportional relationship.

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify the given equation of y=kx to solve for k, you would divide both sides by x:

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

We are told that the constant, <em>k</em>, is 5. So, this can be written as:

$5=\frac{y}{x}$

Number 3 and 4 please ASAP

Tpy6a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3) there's 60 minutes in a hour

3 times 60 = 180 books in 1 hour

3 times 180 = 540 books in 3 hours

540 + 180 + 180 = 900 books in 5 hours

The difference between those numbers : 900-540= 360 and 540-180= 360 so every 2 hours 360 books is done each time so just add 360 books each time for every 2 hours added

The angles of depression of two ships from the top of the light house are 45° and 30° towards east. If the ships are 200 m apart

azamat

Answer:

273 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

See image attached for the diagram I used to represent this scenario.

The distance between the ships, at angles 30 and 45, is 200 meters. The distance between the left ship and the lighthouse is x meters.

We can use trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. We can use the tangent ratio $\big{(} \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \big{)}$ to create an equation with the two angles.

$\displaystyle \text{tan(45)} = \frac{h}{x}$
$\displaystyle \text{tan(30)} = \frac{h}{x+200} }$

Let's take these two equations and solve for x in both of them.

<h2> $\textbf{Equation I}$ </h2>

$\displaystyle \text{tan(45)} = \frac{h}{x}$

tan(45) = 1, so we can rewrite this equation.

$\displaystyle 1=\frac{h}{x}$

Multiply x to both sides of the equation.

$\displaystyle x = h$

<h2> $\textbf{Equation II}$ </h2>

$\displaystyle \text{tan(30)} = \frac{h}{x+200} }$

Multiply x + 200 to both sides and divide h by tan(30).

$\displaystyle \text{x + 200} = \frac{h}{\text{tan (30)}}$

Subtract 200 from both sides of the equation.

$\displaystyle \text{x} = \frac{h}{\text{tan (30)}} - 200$

Simplify h/tan(30).

$x=\sqrt{3}h - 200$

<h2> $\textbf{Equation I = Equation II}$ </h2>

Take Equation I and Equation II and set them equal to each other.

$h=\sqrt{3}h-200$

Subtract √3 h from both sides of the equation.

$h-\sqrt{3}h=-200$

Factor h from the left side of the equation.

$h(1-\sqrt{3}) =-200$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1 - √3.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200}{1-\sqrt{3} }$

Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.

$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200}{1-\sqrt{3} } \big{(} \frac{1+\sqrt{3} }{1+\sqrt{3}} \big{)}$
$\displaystyle h=\frac{-200+200\sqrt{3} }{1-3}$
$\displaystyle h =\frac{-200+200\sqrt{3} }{-2}$

Simplify this equation.

$\displaystyle h=100+100\sqrt{3}$
$h=273.20508075$

The height of the lighthouse is about 273 meters.
