Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation 3x+5y=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Eva8 [605]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=0

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+5y-3x=0-3x

5y = -3x

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 = -3x/5

y = -3/5 x

A direct variation is y = kx

y = -3/5 x

The constant of variation is -3/5

A pole 5 feet tall is used to support a guy wire for a tower, which runs from the tower to a metal stake in the ground. After pl
sammy [17]

The length of the guy's wire to the nearest foot is 89 feet.

The situation forms a right-angled triangle.

<h3>Properties of a right angle triangle:</h3>
  • A right-angle triangle has one angle of 90 degrees.
  • The sides can be found using the Pythagoras theorem.
  • The angles can be found using trigonometric ratios.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the wire.

let's use the smaller triangle to find the angle opposite the tower. Therefore,

tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent

tan ∅ =  5 / 2

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2.5

∅ = 68.1985905136

∅ = 68.20°

Therefore,

cos 68.20 = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 68.20 = 33 / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 33 / cos 68.20

hypotenuse = 88.8606843161

Therefore,

length of wire ≈ 89 feet.

Which of the following triangles are impossible to draw? Choose all that apply.
Luda [366]
<span>These triangles are impossible:

a triangle with sides of 3 inches, 4 inches, and 8 inches
(the longest side is greater than the sum of the other 2 sides)

an obtuse equilateral triangle
(all angles in an </span><span>equilateral triangle are acute)

</span>
<span>a triangle with two right angles
The angles of ALL triangles must sum exactly to 180 degrees.  Two right angles sum to 180 degrees so the third angle would have to be zero degrees.

Twelve friends came to Guy's birthday party. He received seven gifts and a total of $95 in cash for his birthday. He buys an air
anastassius [24]
Hey!

Ignore the birthday party stuff and go to 95 first. Subtract 9 from 95 you get the answer 86. Next you need to find how many times 8 goes into 86. 86/8 which is 10 with a remainder of 6. Therefore, Guy can donate to 6 animal shelter. I hope this helps with future problems.
