No, the objects below the sea and above both have the absolute value of 20 ft.

The absolute value is how far the number is away from zero- it doesn't matter if it is in the positive or negative direction

For example, if you drove 20 miles from your house in one direction while your friends drove 20 miles in the other direction- both of the distances of you and your friend from the your house is 20 miles.

Distance is a great example of the absolute value because it is always positive. It doesn't matter what direction, it is always 20 miles from your house.

Which box shows a relationship where the constant of proportionality is 64?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality = $\frac{y}{x}$

Let's find out which if the boxes will give us 64 as constant of proportionality.

A. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5$ ≠ 64

B. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}$ ≠ 64

C. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{16}{\frac{1}{4}} = 16*\frac{4}{1} = 64$ ≠ 64

D. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{\frac{3}{7}}{3} = \frac{3}{7}*\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{7}$ ≠ 64

E. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{2}{-10} = -\frac{1}{5}$ ≠ 64

F. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2}$ ≠ 64

G. $\frac{y}{x} = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$ ≠ 64

From the boxes given, box C is the only box that shows us a relationship where the constant of proportionality is 64.

Answer:$2700

Step-by-step explanation: Really depends on the kind of interest, but you would take the initial amount, and multiply it by the APR for the amount of interest, then add the interest to the initial amount.
