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.

Answer: The range is  \{y \in \mathbb{R}\ | \ y \le -6\}

Explanation:

The parabola opens down, forming a "frowny face" in a way (just without the eyes). Or you can think of it as a hill or mountain. This means that the vertex (-3,-6) is at the top of that mountain. It's the highest point of that parabola.

The range is the set of all possible y values. We see that y = -6 is the largest it can get. So y = -6 or y is smaller than this. We would then write y \le -6 to describe all the possible y values.

Therefore, the range is \{y \in \mathbb{R}\ | \ y \le -6\}

This translates to "y is a real number such that y is -6 or smaller".

So the second answer you wrote is close, but you forgot the "or equal to" portion of the inequality sign.

See below for a visual example of what's going on.

The polygon in the diagram is a regular octagon with center A. Find the area of the octagon to the nearest tenth of a foot. A) 2
IRISSAK [1]
Method 1: In order to find out the area of an octagon with a radius of 4 feet, we have to split the whole figure into 8 equal isosceles triangles.
Therefore, 
We will find out the area of one triangle and multiply the area with 8 to, figure out the area of the whole octagon there are 8 similar triangles and all of them will have the same area.

Method 2: From method 1, it would take time as there are too much of calculation, therefore we would go for the shortcut using the formula:

Area = 2√2 × r²

where r<span> is the radius of the octagon.
Substituting the values,
We get:
             </span>Area = 2√2 × 4²
             Area = 2√2 × 16
             Area = 2× 1.41 × 16 
             Area = 2.828 × 16 
            Area = 45.25

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

Area = 45.3 ft²
