Answer:

JUST WRITE THIS AS YOUR ANSWER

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Put together the general equation.

Step 2: Solve for the constant of proportionality.

Step 3: Plugging the constant into the equation, solve for the unknown variable.

Let's solve a few problems to see how this works, shall we?

Example 1: Y is directly proportional to x. When x = 5, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 9?

First, we set up our general equation. Because y is directly proportional to x, we have:

y = cx

where c is the constant of proportionality. In other words, when x goes up, y goes up, and when x goes down, y goes down.

The next thing we do is plug our values for x and y into the equation so we can solve for c:

8 = (c)(5)

Solving for c, we get c = 8/5 = 1.6 and we plug this into our equation:

y = 1.6x

Now, we can plug x = 9 into the equation to find out what y equals:

y = (1.6)(9)

y = 14.4

So, our answer is 14.4

Example 2: Y is directly proportional to the square of x. When x = 2, y = 32. What does y equal when x = 5?

This time, our general equation is slightly more complicated because x is squared:

y = cx2

Like before, we solve for our constant:

32 = (c)(22)

32 = (c)(4)

We get c = 8:

y = 8x2

Solving for y when x = 5, we get y = (8)(52) = (8)(25) = 200

Example 3: Y is inversely proportional to x. When x = 2, y = 8. What does y equal when x = 24?

This time, because y is inversely proportional to x, our general equation is different:

xy = c

so when x goes up, y goes down, and vise versa. But, other than that, we solve these kinds of problems the same way as direct proportion problems. Solving for the constant, we get:

(2)(8) = c

So c = 16 and our equation is now:

xy = 16

Solving for y when x = 24 we get y = 16/24 = 2/3

Example 4: Y is inversely proportional to the square root of x. When x = 36, y = 2. What does y equal when x = 64?

As before, we set up our equation:

eq001

Since the square root of 36 is 6, it is easy to solve for c:

(6)(2) = c

We get c = 12 and our equation is now:

eq002

Solving for y when x = 64 we get 8y = 12 or y = 12/8 = 1.5 because the square root of 64 is 8.

Use Place Value to Name Whole Numbers in the following exercises (4th,5th 6th questions below), name
Temka [501]

Naming each number in word with the use of place value to name whole numbers: we have;

<em>4. Five hundred and twenty-five thousand, Six hundred minutes.</em>

<em>4. Five hundred and twenty-five thousand, Six hundred minutes.5. Two-million, six-hundresd and seventeen thousand, one-hundred and seventy six.</em>

<em>4. Five hundred and twenty-five thousand, Six hundred minutes.5. Two-million, six-hundresd and seventeen thousand, one-hundred and seventy six.6. Eighteen thousand, five-hundred and fourty-nine thousand dollars.</em>

Using place value to name whole numbers involves orderly naming the numbers from right to left from unit, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands and so on.

Ultimately, the naming of the numbers is as done above.

Multiply. Express your answer in simplest form.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Bet

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s a simple one to write. There are many trios of integers (x,y,z) that satisfy x²+y²=z². These are known as the Pythagorean Triples, like (3,4,5) and (5,12,13). Now, do any trios (x,y,z) satisfy x³+y³=z³? The answer is no, and that’s Fermat’s Last Theorem.

On the surface, it seems easy. Can you think of the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=8? Sure. One answer is x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. But what about the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=42?

That turned out to be much harder—as in, no one was able to solve for those integers for 65 years until a supercomputer finally came up with the solution to 42. (For the record: x = -80538738812075974, y = 80435758145817515, and z = 12602123297335631. Obviously.)
