y/x = k

6.4/4 = 1.6

11.2 / 7 =1.6

16/10 = 1.6

20.8 /13 =1.6

This is a direct variation and the constant is 1.6

Answer:

$y=1.6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly proportional with x, then equation is y=kx

where k is the constant of proportionality

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

LEts find out k

we use the table to find the value of k, divide y value by x value

$\frac{6.4}{4}=1.6$

$\frac{11.2}{7}=1.6$

$\frac{16}{10}=1.6$

$\frac{20.8}{13}=1.6$

1.6 is a constant . so k=1.6

y=kx

Replace the value of k, the equation becomes

$y=1.6 x$

Describe the steps you would use to factor 2x3 + 5x2 – 8x – 20 completely. Then state the factored form.

WARRIOR [948]

The polynomial $2x^3 + 5x^2-8x-20$ may have solutions which are the divisors of -20, therefore -20 has the following divisors: $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 10, \pm 20$ .
If x=1, then $2\cdot1^3 + 5\cdot1^2-8\cdot1-20=-20\neq 0$ ,
if x=-1, then $2\cdot(-1)^3 + 5\cdot(-1)^2-8\cdot(-1)-20=-9\neq 0$ ,
if x=2, then $2\cdot2^3 + 5\cdot2^2-8\cdot2-20=0$ , then x=2 is a solution and you have the first factor (x-2).
If x=-2, then $2\cdot(-2)^3 + 5\cdot(-2)^2-8\cdot(-2)-20=0$ , then x=-2 is a solution, so you have the second factor (x+2).
Since x-2 and x+2 are two factors of $2x^3 + 5x^2-8x-20$ , then the polynomial $x^2-4$ is a divisor of $2x^3 + 5x^2-8x-20$ and dividing the polynomial $2x^3 + 5x^2-8x-20$ by $x^2-4$ you obtain
$2x^3 + 5x^2-8x-20=(x-2)(x+2)(2x+5)$ .

Select the correct answer. A model rocket was launched from the top of a building. The rocket's approximate height can be modele

garri49 [273]

Answer:

13 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$h = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2).$

Required

Determine a reasonable solution for t

To do this, we equate h to 0.

$h = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2).$ becomes

$0 = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2).$

Divide through by -4.9

$0 = (t - 13)(t + 2).$

Reorder the expression

$(t - 13)(t + 2) = 0.$

Split

$t-13 = 0$ or $t + 2 = 0$

This gives:

$t = 13$ or $t = -2$

But time can't be negative, So:

$t = 13$

Your friend, Susannah, manages a sandwich shop. She collects data on the number of turkey sandwiches sold per day for a week. Ex

ExtremeBDS [4]

Susannah's data are illustration of measure of central tendencies

(a) The mean

To calculate the mean, she needs to divide the total number of turkey sandwiches sold, by the number of days.

The total is:

$\mathbf{Total = 73 +88+85+88+99+134+129}$

$\mathbf{Total = 696}$

The number of days is:

$\mathbf{Day = 7}$

So, the mean is:

$\mathbf{Mean =\frac{Total}{Days}}$

$\mathbf{Mean =\frac{696}{7}}$

$\mathbf{Mean =99.4}$

Hence, the mean number of turkey sandwiches sold is 99.4

(b) The median

To calculate the median, she needs to arrange the data in ascending or descending order, then select the middle item.

In ascending order, we have: 73, 85, 88, 88, 99, 129, 134

The middle item is 88

So:

$\mathbf{Median = 88}$

Hence, the median number of turkey sandwiches sold is 88

(c) The mode

This is the data that occurs most.

From the dataset, 88 appears twice (more than others).

So:

$\mathbf{Mode = 88}$

Hence, the mode number of turkey sandwiches sold is 88

(d) The range

This is the difference between the highest and least data

From the dataset,

The highest is 134, and the least is 73

So:

$\mathbf{Range =134 - 73}$

$\mathbf{Range =61}$

Hence, the range of turkey sandwiches sold is 61

The measure that would be most helpful is the median, because it is not affected by outliers.

True or false? To begin an indirect proof, you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin an indirect proof, you assume the converse of what you intend to prove is true. This is false.

Rather the correct answer is that to begin an indirect proof, you assume the inverse of what you intend to prove is true.

The converse can be either true or false, depending on what the original statement is, so assuming the converse is pointless.
