The value of x is 105 when y=42

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct proportion means that the change in one quantity will also cause the change in other quantity

Given

y varies directly with x

x ∝ y

when the proportionality symbol is removed a proportionality constant is introduced

$x=ky\\k=\frac{x}{y}\\Putting\ y=8\ and\ x=20\\k=\frac{20}{8}\\k = \frac{5}{2}\\So,\ the\ equation\ will\ be\\x=\frac{5}{2}y\\Putting\ y=42\\x=\frac{5}{2}*42\\x=5*21\\x= 105$

The value of x is 105 when y=42

Does the point (-4, 2) lie inside or outside or on the circle x^2 + y^2 = 25?

stiv31 [10]

Given equation of the Circle is ,

$\sf\implies x^2 + y^2 = 25$

And we need to tell that whether the point (-4,2) lies inside or outside the circle. On converting the equation into Standard form and determinimg the centre of the circle as ,

$\sf\implies (x-0)^2 +( y-0)^2 = 5 ^2$

Here we can say that ,

• Radius = 5 units

• Centre = (0,0)

Finding distance between the two points :-

$\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ (0+4)^2+(2-0)^2} \\\\\sf\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 16 + 4 } \\\\\sf\implies Distance =\sqrt{20}\\\\\sf\implies\red{ Distance = 4.47 }$

Here we can see that the distance of point from centre is less than the radius.

Hence the point lies within the circle .
