Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation. Then write an equation for the inverse variation. Y= 4.5 when x= 3

Mathematics

xeze [42]3 years ago

The constant for variation is k = 3/2 and the equation for the inverse is y = 2/3x

In order to find this, we need to start with the base equation for direct variation. We can then plug in the values and solve for k.

y = kx

4.5 = k(3)

1.5 = k

Now we can model the equation as y = 3/2x. We can then find the inverse by switching the x and y and solving for the new y.

y = 3/2x ----> Switch

x = 3/2y -----> Multiply by 2/3

2/3x = y

Find the difference: 26/44 – 18/44 = ?
Hunter-Best [27]
26/44 - 18/44 = 8/44

26 - 18 = 8

even though it is subtraction, you do not subtract the bottom numbers (denominator).

so your answer is 8/44

if you simplify it, you will get 4/22 and then 2/11

your simplified answer is 2/11 (is this on there?)

hope this helps

What is the mass of 75¢ in nickels?
Dima020 [189]
According to the United States Mint, the mass of 1 nickel is 5.000 g.

\dfrac{\$0.75}{\$0.05} = 15

There are 15 nickles in 75 cents worth of nickels.

15 * 5.000 g = 75.000 g

Answer: 75.000 grams

Belkis is pulling a toy by exerting a force of 1.5 newtons on a string attached to the toy.
LekaFEV [45]
From what I imagine in the problem description, the toy is located on the ground. Then, Belkis is pulling on the string to keep the toy moving just like how you put a leash on a dog. My illustration is shown in the picture. The F arrow is where Belkis pulls it. Its component vectors are Fx and Fy, as shown. 

From the figure, we can see that it forms a right triangle. So, it makes it easy because the pythagorean theorems are applicable and we can easily use trigonometric functions. First, let's determine Fy which is located opposite to the angle. Since we know the hypotenuse F to be 1.5 N, so we use the sine function:

sin 52° = Fy/F = Fy/1.5
Fy = 1.182 N

For the horizontal component, Fx is parallel to the adjacent side with respect to the angle. Thus, we use the cosine function.

cos 52° = Fx/F = Fx/1.5
Fx = 0.923 N

29. BASKETBALL When Jerald shoots a free throw, the ball is 6 feet from the floor and has
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

  a) j(t) = -16t^2 +20t +6

  b) 1 second

  c) less time

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for vertical motion is ...

  h(t)=-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2+v_0t+h_0\\\text{where $v_0$ is the initial upward velocity, and $h_0$ is the initial height}

__

a) j(t) = -16t^2 +20t +6 . . . . . filling in the given initial values, with g=32 ft/s^2

__

b) We want to find the larger of the solutions to ...

  j(t) = 10 = -16t^2 +20t +6

Subtracting 6 and dividing by -4, we have ...

  -1 = 4t^2 -5t

  4t^2 -5t +1 = 0 . . . . add 1, put in standard form

  (4t -1)(t -1) = 0 . . . . . factor

  t = 1/4 or 1

The ball is in the air 1 second before reaching the hoop.

__

c) In generic terms, the equation of motion for a given shooting height at the same upward velocity will be ...

  10 = -16t^2 +20t + h0

  -16t^2 +20t +(h0 -10) = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find the larger solution to be ...

  t = (-(20) -√(20² -4(-16)(h0 -10)))/(2(-16))

  t = (5/8) + √(64h0 -240)/32 = (5 +√(4h0 -15))/8

This value increases as h0 increases, so the ball will be in the air less time when Raymond shoots.
