Answer:

Constant of proportionality is 190.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find proportionality constant we will find difference of weights after 2 days and at birth.

5710-5520=190

Now we will find difference of weights after 14 days and at birth. We will divide the difference by 14.

\frac{8180-5520}{14}

\frac{2660}{14}=190

We can see that weights are increasing at a constant rate of 190 pounds per day. Therefore, our constant of proportionality is 190.

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 190.

Step-by-step explanation:

A baby blue whale weighed 5520 pounds at birth.

After two days, the baby weighed 5710.

Means the weight gain is : 5710-5520=190 pounds

After 14 days, the baby weighed 8180 pounds.

Weight gain = 8180-5520=2660 pounds

So, per day gain = \frac{2660}{14}= 190 pounds

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 190.

Determine the intercepts of the line 4x-3y=17
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

x-intercept = 17/4 and y = -17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intercepts: set x = 0 for the y-intercept and solve the equation and set y =0 for the x- intercept and solve the equation.

To

4x - 3y = 17

4(0) - 3y = 17

0 - 3y = 17

  y = 17 /-3

 y = -17/3 = -5 2/3       y-intercept = -5 2/3.

The ordered pair on the graph is (0, -17/3)

   4x - 3(0) = 17

     4x - 0 = 17

      4x = 17

       x = 17/4       x-intercept = 17/4

    The ordered pair on the graph is (17/4, 0)

Direction: True or False
Goshia [24]

Answer:

<u>False </u>Any three points are always coplanar

<u>False </u>Two points are always collinear

<u>False </u>Two planes intersect at a point

Read explanations, as the answer to these questions, is subjective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of coplanar is; figures that exist on the same plane. Any three points might not always be colinear, as some points might exist on one plane, but other points could exist on other planes. To visualize this phenomenon, refer to the attached image. Two points could be on the red plane, but the third could be on the green. Therefore, while there are three points, not all of them exist on the same plane. However, another plane can be constructed to connect these points, bear in mind certain problems might specifically indicate that three points are not coplanar, therefore, the answer is false.

The definition of collinear is existing on the same line. This statement is a little subject, it can be both true and false depending on the way one looks at it. A line can be drawn to connect any two points, one only needs two points to determine a line. So technically two points are always collinear. However, it also depends on the circumstance. Certain geometry problems might specifically indicate that two points are not collinear. Thus, it really depends on the context. Therefore, the answer is technically false.

Two planes usually intersect on a line. To understand this, please refer to the image attached. Tehcnailly, if a corner of one plane intersects another, then one can state that the plane intersects on a point, but typically, planes intersect on lines. Therefore, technically the answer to this problem is false, as two planes usually intersect on a line.

The teacher asked 4 students to measure 4 different objects. The table shown represents their measurements. Which student had th
Maru [420]

Student 4 has the largest percent error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error of a measurement is given by

p=\frac{|x-x_{true}|}{x_{true}}\cdot 100

where

x is the value of the measurement

x_{true} is the actual value

For student 1:

x=49\\x_{true}=50

Percent error:

p=\frac{|49-50|}{50}\cdot 100=0.02\cdot 100=2\%

For student 2:

x=25.5\\x_{true}=25

Percent error:

p=\frac{|25.5-25|}{25.5}\cdot 100=0.0196\cdot 100 = 1.96\%

For student 3:

x=7.5\\x_{true}=8

Percent error:

p=\frac{|7.5-8|}{8}\cdot 100=0.0625\cdot 100 = 6.25\%

For student 4:

x=2.1\\x_{true}=1.6

Percent error:

p=\frac{|2.1-1.6|}{1.6}\cdot 100=0.3125\cdot 100 = 31.25\%

So, student 4 has the largest percent error.
