Answer:

y/x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x

change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c

y = kx

Divide both sides by x

y/x = k, also k = y/x

Input the values

k = (7 1/2)/3.  Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2

k = (15/2)/3

k = \frac{15}{2} ÷ 3  

Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)

k = \frac{15}{2} × \frac{1}{3}

k = \frac{15}{6}

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2

k = 5/2

From y/x = k,input k into the eqn

y/x = 5/2

y/x = 2.5

Explain the steps necessary to convert a quadratic function in standard form to vertex form
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's an example to illustrate the method:

f(x) = 3x^2 - 6x + 10

First divide the first 2 terms by the coefficient of x^2 , which is 3:

= 3(x^2 - 2x) + 10

Now  divide the -2 ( in -2x) by 2 and write the x^2 - 2x in the form

(x - b/2)^2 - b/2)^2  (where b = 2) , which will be equal to x^2 - 2x in a different form.

= 3[ (x - 1)^2 - 1^2 ] + 10 (Note: we have to subtract the 1^2 because (x - 1)^2 = x^2 - 2x  + 1^2  and we have to make it equal to x^2 - 2x)

= 3 [(x - 1)^2 -1 ] + 10

= 3(x - 1)^2 - 3 + 10

= <u>3(x - 1)^2 + 7 </u><------- Vertex form.

In general form the vertex form of:

ax^2 + bx + c  = a [(x - b/2a)^2 - (b/2a)^2] + c .

This is not easy to commit to memory so I suggest the best way to do these conversions is to remember the general method.

Find the number of steel ball bearings, each of diameter 0.7 cm, that can be made from 1kg of steel, given that 1cm cubed of ste
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Ball Bearing Volume = (4 / 3) * PI * radius ^3

Volume = (4 / 3) * 3.14159265 * (.35)^3

Volume = (4 / 3) * 3.14159265 * 0.042875

Volume = 0.17959438 cc

1 cc of steel = 7.8 g

Volume of 1 kg of steel = 1,000 cc / 7.8 g per cc

1 kg = 128.205 cc

Number of ball bearings we can make = 128.205 / 0.17959438

Equals 713.86
