8 0

We can put the dimensions of Mary's garden into ratio format:

6ft by 8ft = 6ft : 8ft

Now if she increased it by a scale factor of 2=

6ft : 8ft = __ : 16ft

So we can see that 8 was multiplied by 2, so we do the same for 6:

6ft : 8ft = 12ft : 18ft.

So the measurements should be 12ft by 16ft

At a summer camp there is one counselor for every 5 campers. Determine whether there is a direct variation between the number of

adell [148]

Campers = y and counselors = x.....1 counselor to 5 campers

y = kx
k = y/x
k = 5/1

y = 5x

lets check..
y = 5x....lets say u have 2 counselors...sub in 2 for x
y = 5(2)
y = 10....so when there is 2 counselors, there are 10 campers

y = 5x...lets say u have 3 counselors...sub in 3 for x
y = 5(3)
y = 15...so when there are 3 counselors, there are 15 campers

2/10 reduces to 1/5
3/15 reduces to 1/5

so yes, this is a direct variation with ur equation being y = 5x

Answer:

$y=\sin(x-\frac{3\pi}{2})$ is the graph of $y=\sin x$ shifted to the right by $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ units.
