Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to interpret the question

y varies directly as x

y varies x

To equate it, we need to add a constant K

y = K/x

Using the information we are provided with

y = 9

x = 3/2

insert into

y = Kx

9 = K * 3/2

9 = 3K/ 2

3K = 9 *2

3k = 18

To get K, divide through by 3

3K/3 = 18/3

K = 6

Since we've gotten our K = 6

y = Kx

Using the new information

y = ?

x = 1

K = 6

y = 6* 1

y = 6

The new y = 6 , x =1

Factor the expression completely. 625x4 - 256y4

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

(625 • (x4)) - 28y4

54x4 - 28y4 3.1 Factoring: 625x4-256y4

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =

A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

A2 - B2Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 625 is the square of 25

Check : 256 is the square of 16

Check : x4 is the square of x2

Check : y4 is the square of y2

Factorization is : (25x2 + 16y2) • (25x2 - 16y2) 3.2 Factoring: 25x2 - 16y2

Check : 25 is the square of 5

Check : 16 is the square of 4

Check : x2 is the square of x1

Check : y2 is the square of y1

Factorization is : (5x + 4y) • (5x - 4y)this is the answer: (25x2 + 16y2) •(5x + 4y) • (5x - 4y)

A rectangular swimming pool measures 50 meters in length and 25 meters in width.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

width = 5cm

length = 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the ratio is 1:5 so 50 metres in real life is 10 centimetres on paper so length = 10 cm

2. 25 metres in real life is 5 centimetres on paper so width = 5 cm

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

72 $yd^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for a triangular prism = $\frac{1}{2}$ a · c · h

A = Height. C = Width. H = Length.

A = 3 yd. C = 8 yd. H = 6 yd.

V = 114 yd.

V = 114 yd ÷ 2 yd = 72 $yd^{3}$ .

Solve the system of equations given . -2x+5y=-3

algol13

For this case we have the following system of equations:

$-2x + 5y = -3\\y-15 = 3x$

We multiply the second equation by -5:

$-5y + 75 = -15x$

Now we add the equations:

$-2x-5y + 5y + 75 = -3-15x\\-2x + 75 = -3-15x\\-2x + 15x = -75-3\\13x = -78\\x = \frac {-78} {13}\\x = -6$

We find the value of the variable "y":

$y = 3x + 15\\y = 3 (-6) +15\\y = -18 + 15\\y = -3$

THE solution is: (-6, -3)

Answer:

(-6, -3)
