y varies directly with x.

The constant of variation is k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to check whether both vary directly with each other or not.

Every pair of x and y will be considered one by one

If y varies directly with x, it should satisfy y = kx or k = yx

So,

For x= -2, y=-14

$-14 = -2k\\k = \frac{-14}{-2}\\k = 7$

For

x=3, y=21

$21 = 3k\\ k = \frac{21}{3}\\k = 7$

For

x=5, y=35

$35 = 5k\\ k = \frac{35}{5}\\k = 7$

As k is same for all pairs of x and y, it can be concluded that:

y varies directly with x.

The constant of variation is k = 7

Which equation can be used to find the unknown length, a, in this triangle?

solniwko [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a) a squared + 15 squared = 17 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2 . . . . . . matches the first choice

Select the correct answer. A new building in the shape of a square pyramid is to be constructed. The slant height will be five t

marysya [2.9K]

From the information given about the square pyramid, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm.

<h3>How do you determine the maximum side length?</h3>

We are given the following details are:

Base = b

Slant height (l) = 5b

The lateral surface area is calculated using:

L = 2bl

So, we have:

L = 2 * b * 5b

Evaluate the product

L = 10b²

The total surface area is calculated using:

T = L + b²

So, we have:

T = 10b² + b²

Evaluate the sum

T = 11b²

Recall that the maximum surface area is 50,000 square feet

So, we have:

11b² = 50000

Divide both sides by 11

b² = 50000/11

Taking the square root of both sides, we have

b = 67.42

Hence, the maximum base length of the building is 67.42 cm

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 csc²x-2 csc x-1=0

$\frac{2}{sin^2x} -\frac{2}{sin x} -1=0\\multiply~by~sin^2x\\2-2sin~x-sin^2x=0\\sin^2x+2sinx-2=0\\sin ~x=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{2^2-4*1*(-2)} }{2*1} \\=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{4+8} }{2} \\=\frac{-2 \pm\sqrt{4*3} }{2} \\=\frac{-2 \pm2\sqrt{3} }{2} \\=-1\pm\sqrt{3} \\|sin~x| \le ~1\\so~sin~x=-1+\sqrt{3} \\sin~x=\sqrt{3} -1\\x=sin^{-1}(\sqrt{3} -1) \approx 47.06^\circ,180-47.06\\or~x=47.06^\circ,132.94^\circ$
