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.

18 cajas de manzanas y peras fueron llevadas a la escuela. Las peras trajeron 210 kg en 6 cajas. ¿Cuántos kilos de manzanas fuer

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

504 kilos de manzanas fueron llevados a la escuela.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean $x$ , $y$ la cantidad de cajas de manzanas y peras, respectivamente. De acuerdo con el enunciado, tenemos el siguiente sistema de ecuaciones:

Total de cajas

$x+y = 18$ (1)

Masa de cada caja de peras

$y\cdot m_{P} = 210$ (2)

$y = 6$ (3)

Masa de caja de manzanas

$m_{M} = m_{P}+7$ (4)

De (2) en (3), tenemos que la masa de cada caja de peras es:

$m_{P} = 35\,kg$

Por (4), encontramos que la masa de cada caja de manzanas es:

$m_{M} = 35\,kg+7\,kg$

$m_{M} = 42\,kg$

Finalmente, de (1) tenemos la cantidad de cajas de manzana:

$x = 18-y$

$x = 12$

La cantidad de kilos de manzanas llevada a la escuela se obtiene al multiplicar la cantidad de cajas de manzana por la masa de cada caja:

$M = (12)\cdot (42\,kg)$

$M = 504\,kg$

504 kilos de manzanas fueron llevados a la escuela.

Identify the factors of x2 + 25y2. ...?

Sveta_85 [38]

Is the equation like this? x^2 + 25y^2?
If the equation is like that, the answer would be (x-5y)^2 or (x-5y)(x-5y).
how did I get this? Just divide the factors or the get the square root of 25y^2 and it would be 5y. Then just try if it is positive or negative. In this case, it is negative because there is no factor w/ no exponential form. I hopemy answer helped you.
