Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct model to use for a proportional relationship is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 16 when x = -4, then this model becomes 16 = k(-4). Solving for k, we get k = -16/4, or k = -4.

Thus, the specific formula to use here is y = -4x.

Now if y = 4, 4 = -4x, and x must therefore be x = -1.

Erika calculated that she would spend $115 on school supplies this year. She actually spent $82.50 on school supplies. What is E

DerKrebs [107]

The equation to find percent error is:
percent error=(experimental-theoretical)/theoretical *100
So, (115-82.5)/82.5=0.393939*100
39.3939%, or 39.94%

Hope this helps!!

How many arrangements can be made using 2 letters of the word HYPERBOLAS if no letter is to be used more than once?

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

90 arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are no repititions of letters, there are unique 10 letters in total.

THe number of arrangements would be 2 permutation 10. We need the formula for permutation. That is:

$nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\$

Now, n = 10 [total] and r is 2, so we have:

$nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{10}P_{2}=\frac{10!}{(10-2)!}\\=\frac{10!}{8!}\\=\frac{10*9*8!}{8!}\\=10*9\\=90$

So, there can be 90 arrangements

goblinko [34]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{A=60\pi cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a elipse:

$A=\pi ab$

We have:

$2a=10cm\to a=5cm\\\\2b=24cm\to b=12cm$

Substitute:

$A=\pi\dot5\cdot12=60\pi(cm^2)$
