The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportion is given if y varied directly as x

y∝x

When the proprtionality symbol is removed, a proportionality constant is introduced.

y = kx

as we know y = 48 when x = 6

$48 = k * 6\\k = \frac{48}{6}\\k = 8$

The equation will be:

y = 8x

So when x=2

y = 8*2

y = 16

Hence,

The expression will be y =8*2 or y = (48/6)*2

5/6 - 2/3 divide by 4/5

ollegr [7]

Answer:

5/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the first part of the probelm 5/6 - 2/3

You need to find a common denominator of 6 and 3

common denominator= 6

so change 2/3 to 4/6

now you can subtract the top values

5/6-4/6

5-6=1

keep the denominator the same

= 1/6

Now divide 1/6 by 4/5

to divide you are going to multiply by the reciprocal so instead of 4/5 we are going to flip it to 5/4

1/6 x 5/4

5x1=5 and 6x4=24

= 5/24

Can someone please help me in this question

Pie

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let y = f(x) = 3x - 2x^2

f(-2) = 3(-2) - 2(-2)^2 = p

= -6 - 8

= -14

= p

f(2.5) = 3(2.5) - 2(2.5)^2 = q

= 7.5 - 12.5

= -5

= q

b) graphing

c) From the graph, you should be able to verify the following:

i) f(0.5) = 3(0.5) - 2(0.5)^2 = 1

ii) 0.5 = 3x - 2x^2 or x = 1.3, 0.2

iii) the maximum occurs at

f(0.75) = 1.125

d) the equation for the line of symmetry is x = 0.75

Which would be the best method to use to solve the following equations? Explain your reasoning.

o-na [289]

A. square root property

$3x^2-192=0\\x^2-66=0\\x^2=66\\x= -\sqrt{66} or \sqrt{66}$

it has one value with x which is x^2 and it cn be easily solved without having to factorise, quadratic formula cant be used as it need ax^2+bx+c=0 format

B. factorising

$x^2-x-6=0\\x^2+2x-3x-6=0\\(x+2)(x-3)=0\\x+2=0 and x-3=0\\x= -2 \\x= 3$

i just felt like this was easier to factorise than the other 2 options left

C. Completing the square

$x^2-6x-7=0\\(x-3)^2=0\\x= -1\\x= 7$

same reason personal preference

D- Quadratic

$x^2-17x-7=0\\x=\frac{-(-17)+\sqrt{(-17)^2-4(1)(-7)} }{2(1)} \\x=\frac{-(-17)-\sqrt{(-17)^2-4(1)(-7)} }{2(1)}\\x=17.4\\x=-0.402$

the 17 kinda threw me off and i didnt wanna get on factorising or doing completing the square so quadratic formal
