Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x we can write y = kx where k is some constant.

Y = 8 when x = 2 so  8 = k*2

k = 8/2 = 4

so y = 4x

This is the equation of variation.

When x = 6, y = 4*6 = 24  (answer).

Answer:

y =24

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is

y =kx

If we know x and y we can solve for k

y=kx

8 =k*2

Divide each side by 2

8/2 = k2/2

4 =k

y =4x

We want to find y when x=6

y =4*6

y =24

Answer: Choice A

g(x) = sqrt(2x)

====================================================

Explanation:

"sqrt(x)" is shorthand for "square root of x"

f(x) = 3x^2 is given

g( f(x) ) = x*sqrt(6) is also given

One way to find the answer is through trial and error. This would only apply of course if we're given a list of multiple choice answers.

------------------

Let's start with choice A

g(x) = sqrt(2x)

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(2 * f(x) ) .... replace every x with f(x)

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(2 * 3x^2 ) .... plug in f(x) = 3x^2

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(6x^2 )

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(x^2 * 6)

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(x^2)*sqrt(6)

g( f(x) ) = x*sqrt(6)

We found the answer on the first try. So we don't need to check the others.

------------------

But let's try choice B to see one where it doesn't work out

g(x) = sqrt(x + 3)

g( f(x) ) = sqrt( f(x) + 3)

g( f(x) ) = sqrt(3x^2 + 3)

and we can't go any further other than maybe to factor 3x^2+3 into 3(x^2+1), but that doesn't help things much to be able to break up the root into anything useful. We can graph y = x*sqrt(6) and y = sqrt(3x^2 + 3) to see they are two different curves, so there's no way they are equivalent expressions.

Jim bought a fishing rod for $42. This price was 70% of the original price. What was the original price?
ankoles [38]
So if $42 was 70% of the original price that means you saved 30% so work out 30% of $42 then add it to the $42 = $12.60 + $42
