Answer:  The other factor is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the  product of two numbers is −72 and one of the factors is −9.

We are to find the other factor.

Let the other factor be represented by f.

Then, according to the given information, we have

(-9)\times f=-72\\\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{-72}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow f=8.

Thus, the other factor is 8.

If y varies directly as x, and x= 8 when y= 24, what is the value of x when y= 48
saveliy_v [14]
8/24 = x / 48
cross multiply
(24)(x) = (8)(48)
24x = 384
x = 384/24

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 20 inches wide by 37 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 50% of the canvas.
uysha [10]
The total area is:
 A = (20) * (37)
 A = 740 in ^ 2
 We can make the following rule of three:
 740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
 x --------------> 50%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (50/100) * (740)
 x = 370 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
 
x = 370 in ^ 2

o-na [289]

a) (f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = -4x + 5x = x

b) -9(x) = -9x? I have no idea what this means.

c) (f o g)(x) = (f(g(x)) = f(5x) = -4 (5x) = -20x

What is the angular velocity of a 6–foot pendulum that takes 3 seconds to complete an arc of 14.13 feet?
son4ous [18]
<span>First find the central angle A in degree. Perimeter circle 2Pi*R --> 360 deg Arc A = 14.13 --> x deg (360*14.13)/2Pi*R = 5086.8/37.68 = 135 deg The pendulum rotates 135 deg in 3 sec. Then, the angular velocity is : 135/3 = 45 deg/sec.

Hope this helps!
