Answer:

y = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies directly as x

mathematically,

y ∝ x

y = kx .............................................. where k is the constant of proportionality.

k = y /x

given that

y = 79

x = 49

k = 79/49

k = 1.61

to find y when x = 9

from

y = kx

y = 1.61 × 9

y = 14.5

therefore the value of y when x = 9 in ths variation is evaluated to be equals to 14.5

Use the Pythagorean theorem $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ to find the missing side length of a right triangle

In this case, after you plug in the given numbers your equation is $12^{2} + y^{2} = 20^{2}$

Then, Just solve that equation for y.

$144 + y^{2} = 400$

$x^{2} = 256$

$\sqrt{} y^{2} = \sqrt{256}$

y = 16

So the answer is B, 16 cm.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask questions if you're still confused :)

The sketches show the graphs y=-x^2+16 and y=7

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

7 = -x^2 +16

x^2 -16 = 7

x^2 -23 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x = -0 +- sqrt (23^2 - 4*1*23) / 2 * 1

x = sqrt (0 - -92) / 2

x = sqrt (92) / 2

x1 = 4.7958

x2 = -4.7958
