Answer:

k = 36 and r = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that r varies directly as p and inversely as q² then the equation relating them is

r = $\frac{kp}{q^2}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition r = 27 when p 3 and q = 2, thus

27 = $\frac{3k}{4}$ ( multiply both sides by 4 )

108 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

k = 36

r = $\frac{36p}{q^2}$ ← equation of variation

When p = 2 and q = 3, then

r = $\frac{36(2)}{3^2}$ = $\frac{72}{9}$ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The art museum charges a one-time fee of $8.25 plus $2.25 per month.

So, the cost function for membership for x months in the art museum f(x) = 8.25 + 2.25x .............. (1)

Again, the science museum charges a one-time fee of $10.75 plus $3.5 per month.

Hence, the cost function for membership for x months in the science museum g(x) = 10.75 + 3.5x ........... (2)

So, from both the equations it is clear that for only joining the monthly charges are zero.

So, f(0) = 8.25 and g(0) = 10.75.

Therefore, Barrett will save by joining the art museum instead of the science museum by $(10.75 - 8.25) = $2.5. (Answer)

Please help with question 15 and 16!!!

kykrilka [37]

15. [4] insufficient information. only given SA
16. There are 3 right triangles, 3 Pythagorean theorem equations
x²+b²= 16²
12²+a² = x²
a²+4² = b²

combine equations using substitution to get in terms of only x
substitute b² for (a² +x²) in first equation
x²+a²+4²=16²
substitute a² for (x² - 12²)
x²+x²-12²+4² = 16²
solve for x
2x² - 144 + 16 = 256
2x² = 256 + 144 - 16
2x² = 384
x² = 384/2
x² = 192
x = 13.85

rounded to nearest tenth, x = 13.9
