Constant of proportionality definition math is fun

Mathematics
1 answer:
REY [17]3 years ago
6 0

In mathematics, two variables are proportional if there is always a constant ratio between them. The constant is called the coefficient of proportionality or proportionality constant. If one variable is always the product of the other variable and a constant, the two are said to be directly proportional

What are the real and complex solutions of the polynomial equation? x^3-8=0. with imaginary numbers
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Solutions are 2,  -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i

or 2,  -1 +  1.58 i  and -1 - 1.58i

(where the last 2 are equal to nearest hundredth).


Step-by-step explanation:

The real solution is x = 2:-

x^3 - 8 = 0

x^3 = 8

x = cube root of 8 = 2

Note that a cubic equation must have  a total of 3 roots ( real and complex in this case).  We can find the 2 complex roots by using the following identity:-

a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2).

Here  a = x and b = 2 so we have

(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) = 0

To find the complex roots we solve x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0:-

Using the quadratic formula x = [-2 +/- sqrt(2^2 - 4*1*4)] / 2

= -1 +/- (sqrt( -10)) / 2

= -1 +  0.5 sqrt10 i  and -1 - 0.5 sqrt10 i

QRST is a parallelogram. Find x and y.
Wewaii [24]

In parallelograms, opposite sides are congruent, meaning that they are the same lengths. So, we have:

y - 4x = 9

-x + 4 = y

Add x to both sides of the second equation:

y + x = 4

y - 4x = 9

This is a system of linear equations. Solve by eliminating the y and subtracting the two equations:

5x = -5

x = -1

Use x to solve for y:

y + (-1) = 4

y = 5

So, x = -1 and y = 5.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

0=144-16t^2

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

\frac{0}{16}=\frac{144}{16} -\frac{-16t^2}{16}  \\0= 9 - t^2\\0=(3-t)(3+t)

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.
