Answer: R = 34

Step-by-step explanation: In physics this is Ohm's Law, where voltage = current x resistance. Thus, an electrical circuit would be V = 17 x 10, or V = 170 volts. Now, in a real circuit, if the voltage remains constant and the current changes, the resistance will change proportionally. In this case it would be 170 = R x 5, or R = 170/5 = 34 ohms. In the same way, adding resistance to a circuit with a fixed voltage reduces the current through the circuit.

In the case of a simple stated inverse proportional relationship we can simply write the current ratio as 17/5. Then the corresponding changed resistance ratio would be 10/R. The INVERSE is R/10 so the equation is 17/5 = R/10 ; R = 10(17/5) ; R = 170/5

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2 3 .
Degger [83]

Answer:

3y = 2x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is as follows;

Write an equation of the line that goes through the point (6, 12) and has a slope of 2/3

Solution

Here, we have a point and a slope, and we want to write the equation of the line

The method we shall use here is the point slope method

Mathematically, that will be;

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

(x1,y1) = (6,12)

m = 2/3

y-12 = 2/3(x-6)

3(y-12) = 2(x-6)

3y-36 = 2x - 12

3y = 2x -12 + 36

3y = 2x + 24

A tunnel is built in form of a parabola. The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m. On
uysha [10]

Given:

The width at the base of parabolic tunnel is 7 m.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures.

The height to light fixtures is 4 m.

To find:

Whether it is possible a trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel.

Solution:

The width at the base of tunnel is 7 m.

Let the graph of the parabola intersect the x-axis at x=0 and x=7. It means x and (x-7) are the factors of the height function.

The function of height is:

h(x)=ax(x-7)             ...(i)

Where, a is a constant.

The ceiling 3 m from each end of the base there are light fixtures and the height to light fixtures is 4 m. It means the graph of height function passes through the point (3,4).

Putting x=3 and h(x)=4 in (i), we get

4=a(3)((3)-7)

4=a(3)(-4)

\dfrac{4}{(3)(-4)}=a

-\dfrac{1}{3}=a

Putting a=-\dfrac{1}{3}, we get

h(x)=-\dfrac{1}{3}x(x-7)              ...(ii)

The center of the parabola is the midpoint of 0 and 7, i.e., 3.

The width of the truck is 4 m. If is passes through the center then the truck must m 2 m on the left side of the center and 2 m on the right side of the center.

2 m on the left side of the center is x=1.5.

A trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is possible if h(1.5) is greater than 2.8.

Putting x=1.5 in (ii), we get

h(1.5)=-\dfrac{1}{3}(1.5)(1.5-7)

h(1.5)=-(0.5)(-5.5)

h(1.5)=2.75

Since h(1.5)<2.8, therefore the trailer truck carrying cars is 4 m wide and 2.8 m high is going to drive through the tunnel is not possible.

Determine if the following table represents a quadratic function.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

<em>The options are not visible enough (See Explanation)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x:-  1   || 2   || 3   || 4   || 5

y:-  13 || 22 || 37 || 58 || 85

Required

Determine if the function is quadratic

Calculate the difference between the values of y

Difference = 22 - 13 = 9

Difference = 37 - 22 = 15

Difference = 58 - 37 = 21

Difference = 85 - 58 = 27

<em>The resulting difference are: 9 || 15 || 21 ||  27</em>

Next; Calculate the difference between the difference of values of y

Difference = 15 - 9 = 6

Difference = 21 - 15 = 6

Difference = 27 - 21 = 6

<em>The resulting difference are: 6 || 6 || 6</em>

<em>For the function to be quadratic, the above difference must be the same and since they are the same (6), then the function represents a quadratic function.</em>
