Y varies directly with x, and y = 5 when x = 4. What is the value of x when y = 8?

As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)

What is ∛2197? Explain how you got your answer.
user100 [1]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write our answer in exponential form. Ask yourself the question, "What times itself 3 times will give you 2197?" Your answer is 13^{3}. This will go inside of your cube root. You now have \sqrt[3]{13^{3} }. Since there's a power of 3 and a cube root, those cancel each other out, and your answer is 13.

Anyone I need help with this problem plss
Nady [450]

Answer:

About 1.23 standard deviation above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we have here, we need to calculate the difference between the given value and the mean and divide by the standard deviation

That would be through calculating the z score as follows;

z-score = (x - mean)/SD

where x is the given value

z-score = (87-71)/13 = 1.23

Since the score is bigger than the mean, the correct choice here is that the score is about 1.23 standard deviation above the mean

After traveling exactly half of its journey from station A to station B, a train was held up for 10 minutes. In order to arrive
Alex17521 [72]
Let's define variables:
 s = original speed
 s + 12 = faster speed
 The time for the half of the route is:
 60 / s
 The time for the second half of the route is:
 60 / (s + 12)
 The equation for the time of the trip is:
 60 / s + 60 / (s + 12) + 1/6 = 120 / s
 Where,
 1/6: held up for 10 minutes (in hours).
 Rewriting the equation we have:
 6s (60) + s (s + 12) = 60 * 6 (s + 12)
 360s + s ^ 2 + 12s = 360s + 4320
 s ^ 2 + 12s = 4320
 s ^ 2 + 12s - 4320 = 0
 We factor the equation:
 (s + 72) (s-60) = 0
 We take the positive root so that the problem makes physical sense.
 s = 60 Km / h
 Answer:
 
The original speed of the train before it was held up is:
 
s = 60 Km / h
