Directly proportional, both increase/decrease, Multiple k(constant you needed to solve for)..

Inversely --one increases as the other decreases, increase the denominator & fraction gets smaller.... So

Problem:

Dirextly to X (× by X)

Inversely to Y, (÷ by Y)

Z= k X/Y

Solve, working backwards: Z =5 becomes

5 = k (X) ÷ (Y). And

X=15 and Y =9 becomes

5= k(15)/(9). Undo ÷9, ×9 both sides

45= k(15). Now undo ×15 by ÷15 both sides

45/15 = 3. So k=3, (also called your constant of variation)....and your Equation/Proportion becomes...

Z = 3X/Y

Use the new #s.... X=23, Y=14

Z= 3×23÷14 = 69/14. If they want spirochete answer divide and round to corresponding # if decimals

Error Analysis A classmate says that the system consisting of x=0, y=0, and z=0 has no solution. Explain the student's error.

The system can't have only zeros .
It will be only one answer or there will be no answer.
Hence one variable at least not equal to zero for proper system.

If struct definition CartesianPoint has subitems int x and int y, how many total int locations in memory are allocated for these

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

0; The struct definition just creates a type but does't allocate memory. Later variable declarations like Point myPoint will allocate memory allocations

Solve for x. 3x/x+4<br> + 1= 4/x+4

Westkost [7]

Answer: X = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x $\frac{x}{x}$ + 4 + 1 = $\frac{4}{x}$ + 4

First, you would want to cancel out the equal terms, in this case its the +4's

3 x $\frac{x}{x}$ + 1 = $\frac{4}{x}$

I would also change the $\frac{x}{x}$ into a 1

3 x 1 +1 = $\frac{4}{x}$

Now multiply and add

3 + 1 = $\frac{4}{x}$

4 = $\frac{4}{x}$

divide both sides by 4

x = 1

The population of New York state can be modeled by: 19.71 P(t) =

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

19.193 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the given value in the formula and do the arithmetic.

P(220) = 19.71/(1 +61.22e^(-0.03513·220))

P(220) = 19.71/(1 +61.22e^-7.7286) = 19.71/(1 +0.02694046)

P(220) ≈ 19.193 . . . million
