Answer:

a=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct proportion is

f = ka

Let f= 42 and a = 7

42 = k*7

Divide each side by 7

42/7 = k7/7

6 =k

f = 6a

Let f = 18

18 = 6a

Divide each side by 6

18/6 = 6a/6

3 =a

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that F is directly proportional to a, then the equation relating them is

F = ka ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition F = 42 when a = 7, thus

42 = 7k ( divide both sides by 7 )

6 = k

F = 6a ← equation of proportion

When F = 18, then

18 = 6a ( divide both sides by 6 )

3 = a

It’s x+8 at the bottom but if you solve this please give me a step by step so I know how to solve it, thank you!!♥️
OLga [1]

Answer:

x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5/15=x/ x+8

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

5/15=x/ x+8

5*(x+8)=x*(15)

5x+40=15x

Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides.

5x+40−15x=15x−15x

−10x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−10x+40−40=0−40

−10x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x−10=−40−10

Then your answer will be x=4.

Patrick is constructing the circumscribed circle for △RST. Which construction could be his first step?
Naya [18.7K]
Steps in constructing a circumscribed circle on a triangle using a just a compass and a straight edge.
1) construct a perpendicular bisector of one side of ΔRST.
2) construct another perpendicular bisector of another side of ΔRST
3) the point where the two bisectors intersect will be the center of the circle.
4) place the compass on the center point, adjust its length to ensure that any corner of the triangle will be reached and draw the circumscribed circle.

A basketball player stands near the middle of the court and throws the ball toward the basket.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of parabola in vertex form y= a(x-h)^2+k

y represents the height

x represents horizontal distance

(h,k) is the coordinates of vertex of parabola

We are given that The  ball travels to a maximum height of 12 feet when it is a horizontal distance of 18 feet from the player's hands.

So,(h,k)=(18,12)

Substitute the value in equation

y=a(x-18)^2+12  ---1

The ball leaves the player's hands at a height of 6 feet above the ground and the distance at this time is 0

So, y = 6

So,6=a(0-18)^2+12

6=324a+12

-6=324a

\frac{-6}{324}=a

\frac{-1}{54}=a

Substitute the value in 1

So,y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12

Hence a function to represent the height of the ball in terms of its distance from the player's hands is y=\frac{-1}{54}(x-18)^2+12
