Answer:

y=120

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x is written as

y \alpha x

introducing a constant

y=kx

<em>from</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>ques</em><em>tion</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>whe</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>4</em><em>8</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em> </em><em>x</em><em>=</em><em>6</em>

<em>sub</em><em>stitute</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>form</em><em>ula</em>

<em>4</em><em>8</em><em>=</em><em>6</em><em>k</em>

<em>making</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> subject</em><em> </em><em>by </em><em>divi</em><em>ding</em><em> </em><em>thr</em><em>ough</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>6</em>

<em>\frac{48}{6}  =  \frac{6k}{6}</em>

k=48/6

k=8

<em>put</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>va</em><em>lue</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>expression</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>=</em><em>kx</em>

<em>y</em><em>=</em><em>8</em><em>x</em>

from the question,the value of y when x=15 is given by

y=8×15

y=120.

If y is directly proportional to x square and y equal 1/8 when x = 1/2 what is the positive value of x when y it was 9/2?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y is directly proportional to x² then the equation relating them is

y = kx² ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition y = \frac{1}{8} when x = \frac{1}{2}, then

\frac{1}{8} = k(\frac{1}{2} )² = \frac{1}{4} k ( multiply both sides by 8 )

1 = 2k ( divide both sides by 2 )

k = \frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} x² ← equation of proportion

When y = \frac{9}{2} , then

\frac{9}{2} = \frac{1}{2} x² ( multiply both sides by 2 )

9 = x² ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{9} = ± 3

with positive value x = 3 → d

True or false and if false what would be the correct term be?
vagabundo [1.1K]
It’s True.. you take the “extreme” variable from each proportion and cross multiply them before setting them equal to the product of the two “means” (which are just the other 2 numbers in the proportions).
