The variable y is directly proportional to the variable x. If y = 12 when x = 14, what is the value of x when y = 247

Mathematics
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 288.17

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x

⇒ y = kx

substituting the given value of x and y , the equation becomes

12 = 14 k

therefore

k = 12/14

k = 6/7

The formula then becomes

y = 6/7 x

when y = 247, we have

247 = 6/7 x

6x = 247 x 7

6x =  1729

x = 1729/6

x = 288. 17

The exponential function f(x) = 2^x undergoes two transformations to
Eddi Din [679]

Option A: It is vertically stretched

Option B: it is shifted down

Solution:

The exponential function f(x)=2^{x}undergoes two transformations to   g(x)=5 \cdot 2^{x}-3.

<u>To determine how the graph changes:</u>

Consider the given exponential function f(x)=2^{x}.

Let y = f(x)

Vertically compressed or stretched:

A vertically compression (stretched) of a graph is compressing the graph toward x-axis.

• if k > 1 , then the graph y = k• f(x) , the graph will be vertically stretched by multiplying each y coordinate by k.

• if 0 < k < 1 if 0 < k < 1 , the graph is f(x) vertically shrunk (or compressed) by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k.  

• if k should be negative, the vertical stretch or shrink is followed by a reflection across the x-axis.  

Here, k = 5  

So the graph will be vertically stretched.

Also, Adding 3 to the graph will move the graph 3 units down so, the graph is shifted down.

So, The graph is shifted down.  

Hence option A and option B is the correct answer.

The school that Mary goes to is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The cost of one adult ticket is $13, and the price of one student ticket is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of an adult ticket

y is the cost of a student ticket.

6 adult tickets and 1 student ticket for a total of $82

This means that

6x + y = 82

y = 82 - 6x

The school took in $51 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 3 student tickets.

This means that

3x + 3y = 51

Simplifying by 3

x + y = 17

Since y = 82 - 6x

x + 82 - 6x = 17

-5x = -65

5x = 65

x = \frac{65}{5} = 13

y = 82 - 6x = 82 - 6*13 = 82-78 = 4

The cost of one adult ticket is $13, and the price of one student ticket is $4.

Find the speed<br><br>Example:      396  miles in 6 hours
Ivanshal [37]
To find the speed with given distance and time you just have to divide the distance by time. In this situation it's 396 miles in 6 hours, so it's 396 / 6 = 66 miles in 1 hour. So the speed is 66 mph.
