Answer:

\text{The proportionality constant is }\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find the constant proportionality for

y=\frac{2}{3}x

Given two variables x and y, y is directly proportional to x if there is a non-zero constant k such that

y ∝ x

⇒ y=kx   →  (1)

Here, k is known as constant proportionality.

Now, y=\frac{2}{3}x   →   (2)

Comparing (1) and (2), we get

k=\frac{2}{3}

\text{The proportionality constant is }\frac{2}{3}

The constant proportionality is 2/3 because it will still be going on
for example- 2/3+2/3= 2/3*2

The product of two positive numbers is 120. One number is 7 more than the other. Determine the two numbers
Sati [7]
Xy= 120
x= 7+y

(7+y)(y) = 120
y^2 + 7y - 120 = 0
(y + 15) (y - 8) = 0

Since we are finding two positive numbers,
If y= 8 then x= 15

The two numbers are 8 and 15

The height of the tunnel at the center is 54 ft, and the vertical clearance must be 18 ft at a point 8 ft from the center. Find
IrinaVladis [17]

the standard form for a horizontal ellipse is

X^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

Substitute 54 for b and and use (8,18) as the

point to find a

x=8

y=18

8^2/a^2 + 18^2/54^2 =1

64/a^2 +  324/2916 = 1

324/2916 reduces to 1/9

64/a^2 + 1/9 = 1

64/a^2= 1-1/9

64/a^2 = 8/9

64*9/8 = a^2

576/8 = 72

A^2 = 72

A = square root(72) = 8.485

 So formula

would be x^2/72 + y^2/2916 =1

Westkost [7]
To find the answer, we multiply 1,047.30 by 6.2% which is 0.062 in percentage.
1047.30 x 0.062 = 64.93
64.93 is being taken away.
