Answer:

k = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a proportional equation is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

y = 2.5x ← is in this form

with k = 2.5

Antonia and Carla have the same percentage of green marbles in their bags of marbles. Antonia has 4 green green marbles and 16 t

natulia [17]

Given that Antonia and Carla have the same percentage of marbles and Antonia has 4 green marbles out of 16 marbles , to calculate the number of marbles that Carla has that aren't green we proceed as follows;
let the total number of Carla's marbles be x;
the percentage of green marbles that Antonia has is:
4/16×100=25%

since they have the same percentage then:
number of green marbles Carla has is 10:
this is 25% of x, hence:
10/x×100=25
1000/x=25
1000=25x
thus
x=1000/25
x=40
Carla has a total of 40 marbles. Thus the number of marbles which are not green will be:
40-10=30 marbles

Use Stokes' Theorem to evaluate S curl F · dS. F(x, y, z) = x2 sin(z)i + y2j + xyk, S is the part of the paraboloid z = 9 − x2 −

Korolek [52]

The vector field

$\vec F(x,y,z)=x^2\sin z\,\vec\imath+y^2\,\vec\jmath+xy\,\vec k$

has curl

$\nabla\times\vec F(x,y,z)=x\,\vec\imath+(x^2\cos z-y)\,\vec\jmath$

Parameterize $S$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=x(u,v)\,\vec\imath+y(u,v)\,\vec\jmath+z(u,v)\,\vec k$

where

$\begin{cases}x(u,v)=u\cos v\\y(u,v)=u\sin v\\z(u,v)=(9-u^2)\end{cases}$

with $0\le u\le3$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ .

Take the normal vector to $S$ to be

$\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}=2u^2\cos v\,\vec\imath+2u^2\sin v\,\vec\jmath+u\,\vec k$

Then by Stokes' theorem we have

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial S}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\iint_S(\nabla\times\vec F)\cdot\mathrm d\vec S$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^3(\nabla\times\vec F)(\vec s(u,v))\cdot\left(\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}\right)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
