Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by adding 9 to both sides, obtaining: √(x + 9) = 5.
Square both sides, obtaining: x + 9 = 25.
Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 16
Note that √(16+9) - 9 = -4, as required.
Answer:
I think that there might be some complex differential equation
stuff going on here if this were in the real world, but for the sake of this problem... may I suggest that the tank is filling up at a rate of
1/8 of a tank per hour...
it is evaporating at a rate of 1/12 tank per hour
you can subtract the rates
1/8 - 1/12 = 12/96- 8/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 tank/hr
so to fill the tank it should take 32 hours...
I think the logic and math work... lets see if someone else will verify this analysis?
Step-by-step explanation:
I thought this would be simple, as I'm familiar with algebra and not really "The constant of proportionality," but I will do my best.
So this said "Constant of proportionality," is referring to basically the answers for the equation when X equals certain numbers.
Make a table of different answers when you plug in X and you get the 'Constant of proportionality.'
y = 2.5x + 3
y = 2.5(1) + 3
y = 2.5 + 3
y = 5.5
Since we plugged in 1 for X and got 5.5 for Y, our input and output is (1, 5.5)
Replace X for a different value, and you will get a bunch of different numbers that will in essence be your function inputs and outputs. Make a table of these and you have your answer.
EXAMPLE -
-= x =- -= y =-
-= 1 =- -= 5.5 =-
-= 2 =- -= 8 =-
-= 3 =- -= 11.5 =-
-= 4 =- -= 13 =-
So there you have it. I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
