Why do we use a coeficient to remove the propotionality

1 answer:

5 0

Constant is the scale term in proportionality. Suppose one variable is dependent on the other and one variable become twice, other becomes also twice and if one becomes half, other too becomes half., but they are two different variables which are no-where linked (like cost(money) vs quantity). Quantity and cost are two different things but they abridge a mathematical relation of proportionality. So in the mathematics to abridge these two different variables, we need something. Constant serves that purpose.

The specifications for a new cardboard container require that the width for the container be 4 inches less than the length and t

Levart [38]

Answer:

c) Length = 12, width = 8 and height = 23.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x, then the width = x - 4 and the height = 2x - 1.

a) The polynomial is x(x - 4)(2x - 1)

b) x(x - 4)(2x - 1) = 2208

c) x(x - 4)(2x - 1) - 2280 = 0

2x^3 - 9x^2 + 4x - 2280 = 0

I'll use graphical software to find a solution for this. Its easily obtained online.

There is one real root and its x = 12.

So the dimensions of the box are L = 12, W = 8 and H = 23 inches.

Maria’s family hosts a barbeque every month in the summer. In May, they bought 3.2 pounds of hamburger and 3 packages of hot dog

Sindrei [870]

Given:

May:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60
hotdogs: 3 packages * 4 = 12
Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60

June:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4
hotdogs: 3 packages * 1/3 = 1 package * 4 = 4
Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4

25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20

They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
