The constant of proportionality if y varies inversely as the fourth power of x and when x=3, y=1 is k = 3^¼
<h3>Inverse variation</h3>
y = k ÷ x^¼
where,
- Constant of proportionality = k
When x = 3, y = 1
y = k ÷ x^¼
1 = k ÷ 3^¼
1 = k / 3^¼
1 × 3^¼ = k
k = 3^¼
Therefore, the constant of proportionality if y varies inversely as the fourth power of x and when x=3, y=1 is k = 3¼

Pythagorean thoerem
we imagine the wall as a leg of a right triangle, the ladder is the hypotonuse and the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall is the other leg
so if we have a right triangle with leg length a and b and hypotnuse length c then
a²+b²=c²
so
given that one of the legs is 9ft (9 ft is the height of the triangle)
and the hypotnuse is 12 ft (length of ladder)
then say the last leg is x
so
x²+9²=12²
x²+81=144
mius 81 both sides
x²=63
sqrt both sides
x=√63
x=3√7
you should place it 3√7ft or about 7.9 or 8ft away

Answer:
(4,3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this via matrices, so the equations given can be written in matrix form as:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&20\\1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D3%262%261%2620%5C%5C1%26-4%26-1%26-10%5C%5C2%261%262%2615%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Now I will shift rows to make my pivot point (top left) a 1 and so:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\\3&2&1&20\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%26-4%26-1%26-10%5C%5C2%261%262%2615%5C%5C3%262%261%2620%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Next I will come up with algorithms that can cancel out numbers where R1 means row 1, R2 means row 2 and R3 means row three therefore,
-2R1+R2=R2 , -3R1+R3=R3

Therefore the solution to the system of equations are (x,y,z) = (4,3,2)
Note: If answer choices are given, plug them in and see if you get what is "equal to". Meaning plug in 4 for x, 3 for y and 2 for z in the first equation and you should get 20, second equation -10 and third 15.
