K= 8. If you look at the pattern each x value is multiplied by 8 to give you the y value. You could also solve it by:
40=k5
40/5=k
8=k
you could do this with any of the x or y values and still end up with 8.
3,-4 is the correct anwser
Answer:
The volume of the carton is 5 1/3 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton has a length of 2 2/3 feet, width of 1 1/3 feet, and a height of 1 1/2.
The dimensions can be rewritten as
Length of carton =2 2/3 = 8/3 converting to improper fraction).
width of 1 1/3 feet = 4/3 feet
and a height of 1 1/2= 3/2 ,feet
volume of the carton = length of the carton × width of the carton × height of the carton
Volume of carton = 8/3 ×4/3 × 3/2
= 96/18 cubic feet
Converting to mixed fractions, we have
96/18= 5 1/3 cubic feet
If you are allowed to use a calculator then you only need to press the buttons.
Assuming you cannot use a calculator you need to use approximation techniques. First let us begin by finding the two closest numbers that are perfect squares. In this case 11^2 and 12^2 are the closest square numbers to 129.
11^2 = 121
12^2 = 144
We can already tell that the square root of 129 is closer to 11 than to 12.
Now we need to get even closer.
If you try squaring a number like 11.5 then you can get even closer to 129. When you square 11.5 you get 132.25. Already you can tell that the square root of 129 is close to the square root of 132.25 or 11.5
Now we can get even closer square the number 11.25 and keep on going until one of these numbers when squared is almost or exactly 129. I hope I helped, there really isn't a great way to do this without a calculator, or by using the graph of y=x^2
