Answer:

k = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

since y varies directly as x, then the equation connecting them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the given condition y = - 3 when x = 2, thus

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{-3}{2}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$

If a shape has triple the dimensions of a similar shape then it has _______ the area *

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

9 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to go about this is to give actual figures

Let us consider rectangular shape

Let us have a rectangle with dimensions 6 m by 12 m

The area will be 6 * 12 = 72 m^2

The shape having a similar dimension would have dimensions 12m by 36 m

So its area will be ;

18 * 36 = 648 m^2

So we finally proceed to make a division

Mathematically, that will be 648/72 = 9

So the area will be in the ratio of 1 to 9

Given the sequence 8, 16, 32, 64, ..., which expression would give the thirteenth term?

mrs_skeptik [129]

8, 16, 32, 64,…
×2 ×2 ×2

$a_{n} = a_{1} * r^{n - 1}$
$a_{n} = 8 * 2^{13 - 1}$
$a_{n} = 8 * 2^{12}$
$a_{n} = 8 * 4096$
$a_{n} = 32768$

   First Term: 8
      Second Term: 16
      Third Term: 32
      Fourth Term: 64
       Fifth Term: 128
      Sixth Term: 256
   Seventh Term: 512
   Eighth Term: 1024
   Ninth Term: 2048
      Tenth Term: 4096
   Eleventh Term: 8192
   Twelfth Term: 16384
Thirteenth Term: 32768

$The\ expression\ that\ would\ give\ the\ thirteenth\ term\ of\ the\ problem\ would\ be\ the\ equation\ of\ the\ geometric\ sequence,\ which\ is\ equal\ to\ a_{n} = a_{1} * r^{n - 1}.$
