Tanner cycled 8 miles in 20 minutes .What is the constant of proportionality based on the situation

Mathematics

The constant of proportionality based on the situation is 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanner cycled 8 miles in 20 minutes

We need to find the constant of proportionality based on the situation

1. The distance is proportion to the time, because the distance and

   the time increased together

2. If the distance d and the time is t, then d ∝ t

3. The equation of the direct proportion is d = k t, where k is the

    constant of proportionality

∵ d = k t

∵ d = 8 miles

∵ t = 20 minutes

- Substitute these values in the equation above

∴ 8 = k (20)

- Divide both sides by 20

∴ k = 0.4

The constant of proportionality based on the situation is 0.4

Find the area of each figure to the nearest tenth.
sergey [27]

Answer:

Area of triangle ABC=7 square units

Area of triangle A'B'C'=7 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is the preimage of triangle A'B'C' under a reflection in the line x=0.

The two triangles are congruent so they have the same area.

We can calculate the area by counting the unit squares the triangle covered.

Each full box is 1 units square.

Each triangle covered

1 full box and 12 partially covered boxes.

Each partial box covered is 0.5 square units.

Therefore the area is

Area=1+0.5\times12

Area=1+6

Area=7 square units

What is the roots of the quadratic equation? 6x^2+5x-4=0
Rama09 [41]

x = \frac{1}{2} or x = - \frac{4}{3}

consider the factors of the product 6 × - 4 = - 24 which sum to the coefficient of the x- term ( + 5)

the factors are + 8 and - 3 ( split the middle term using these factors

6x² - 3x + 8x - 4 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

3x(2x - 1) + 4(2x - 1 ) ( take out common factor of (2x - 1) )

= (2x - 1)(3x + 4) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \frac{1}{2}

3x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - \frac{4}{3}

For f(x) = 3x +1 and g(x) = x - 6, find (f- g)(x).
Finger [1]

Answer:

c. -x + 3x + 7  = 2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x +1 and g(x) = x - 6

f-g = 3x +1 - ( x - 6)

Distribute the minus sign

     = 3x+1 - x+6

     = 2x +7
