You need to expand the brackets eg.
(w-9)8 basically means 8 x (w-9) = 8w-72
A) 0 represents the surface of the pool.
B) The height of the pool is 10 above the pool surface
C) It should be -3 since it is going down so it is going to be a negative number and it is also below the pool's surface.
Answer:
variation constant = k = 8
equation of variation : y = 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Any relationship of variation can be written as y = kx
where k is the variation constant.
_______________________________________
Let the equationof relation between y and x be y =kx here as well
given
y = 16 when x = 2
substituting this value in the equation y = kx
16 = k*2
=> k = 16/2 = 8
Thus,
variation constant = k = 8
equation of variation : y = 8x
To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables.
Let us say that:
v1 = velocity of airplane = 180 mph
t1 = time travelled by airplane
v2 = velocity of jet = 330 mph
t2 = time travelled by jet
Since we know that distance is the product of velocity and
time, and that the distance travelled by the two must be equal for the jet to
catch up to the plane, hence:
v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
But we know that:
t1 = t2 + 1
Therefore:
180 (t2 + 1) = 330 t2
180 t2 + 180 = 330 t2
150 t2 = 180
t2 = 1.2 hours
<span>Therefore the jet can catch up to the plane after 1.2
hours it takes off.</span>
