Answer:  The required constant of proportionality is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that y is directly proportional to x, and y = 150 when x = 15.

We are to find the constant of proportionality.

According to the given information, we can write

y\propto x\\\\\Rightarrow y=kx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{where k is the constsnt of propotionality}].

When y = 150 and x = 15, we get from the above equation that

y=kx\\\\\Rightarrow 150=k\times15\\\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow k=10.

Thus, the required constant of proportionality is 10.

1. A sine function has the following key features:
andrew11 [14]
Problem 1

See the attached image (figure 1)

16pi seems like a typo. I'm going to assume that it's a fraction and it is 1/(6pi)
f = 1/(6pi) = frequency
T = 1/f = 1/(1/(6pi)) = 6pi
Amplitude = 2
a = 2
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/(6pi) = 1/3
Midline: y = 3
d = 3

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 2*sin(1/3*x-0)+3
y = 2*sin(x/3)+3

===============================================

Problem 2

See the attached image (figure 2) 

T = 12 is the period
a = 4 is the amplitude
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/12 = pi/6
y = 1 is the midline so d = 1
The y intercept is (0,1) which is the midline, which indicates no phase shifts have occurred so c = 0

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 4*sin((pi/6)x-0)+1
y = 4*sin((pi/6)x)+1

===============================================

Problem 3

See the attached image (figure 3)

Period = 4pi
T = 4pi
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/(4pi) = 1/2 = 0.5
Amplitude = 2
a = 2
Midline: y = 3
d = 3
y-intercept: (0,3)
The function is a reflection of its parent function over the x-axis, so 'a' is negative meaning a = -2 instead of a = 2

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = -2*sin(0.5x-0)+3
y = -2*sin(0.5x)+3

===============================================

Problem 4

See the attached image (figure 4)

a = 10 which is half of the distance between the highest and lowest points
T = 8 is the period
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/8 = pi/4
c = -pi/2 is the phase shift since its really a cosine graph
d = 0 is the midline

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 10*sin((pi/4)*x+(-pi/2))+0
y = 10*sin((pi/4)*x+pi/2)

===============================================

Problem 5

See the attached image (figure 5)

a = 2 is the amplitude since it bobs up and down this distance from the midline
T = 8 seconds is the period (double that of the time it takes for it to go from the highest to the lowest point)
b = 2pi/T = 2pi/8 = pi/4
c = 0 is the phase shift as the buoy starts at normal depth of 20 meters
d = 20 is the midline

The function is
y = a*sin(bx-c)+d
y = 2*sin((pi/4)x-0)+20
y = 2*sin((pi/4)x)+20

Previously, an organization reported that teenagers spent 24.5 hours per week, on average, on the phone. The organization thinks
Lena [83]

Answer:

We need to develop a one-tail t-student test ( test to the right )

We reject H₀  we find evidence that student spent more than 24,5 hours on the phone

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size  n = 15     n < 30

And we were asked if the mean is higher than, therefore is a one-tail t-student test ( test to the right )

Population mean   μ₀  = 24,5

Sample mean   μ  =  25,7

Sample standard deviation s = 2

Hypothesis Test:

Null Hypothesis      H₀                             μ  =  μ₀

Alternative Hypothesis     Hₐ                  μ  >  μ₀

t (c) =  ?

We will define CI = 95 %  then   α = 5 %   α = 0,05    α/2 =  0,025

n = 15     then degree of freedom    df = 14

From t-student table  we get:  t(c) = 2,1448

And  t(s)

t(s) = ( μ  -  μ₀  ) / s/√n

t(s) = (25,7 - 24,5) /2/√15

t(s) = 2,3237

Now we compare   t(c)   and  t(s)

t(c)  =  2,1448         t(s)  = 2,3237

t(s) > t(c)

Then we are in the rejection region we reject H₀   we have evidence at 95% of CI that students spend more than 24,5 hours per week on the phone

F(x) = -x² - 7x - 5<br>Find f(-5)​
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(-5)=-(-5)^2 - 7(-5) - 5

f(-5)= -25 +35 - 5

f(-5) = -25 +30

f(-5) = 5

klio [65]

Answer:

y = -1/4x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the perpendicular slope would be -1/4

2 = -1/4 (-16) + b

b = -2

the equation should be y = -1/4x -2

None of the answers you typed could be correct.
