Does the equation represent a direct variation? If so, find the constant of variation.

Mathematics

saveliy_v [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Variation constant = -(\frac{5}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables x and y represent a direct variation then they will have the relation as y = kx

Here k is the constant of variation.

Since the given equation that represent a direct variation is 5x = -3y

3y = -5x

y=(-\frac{5}{3})x

If we compare this equation with y = kx then we find k=(-\frac{5}{3})

Therefore constant of variation is -(\frac{5}{3})

OK for this question you need to find out how many more post are needed. If you look at the diagram it shows that one side is 50 feet.  Now there are two sides that will need post, because the barn side need no more.  Now if there are two side both 50 feet, and you need a post every ten feet. How many posts are needed?

The product of two positive numbers is 48. the larger number is 13 more than the smaller. Find both numbers [Only an algebraic s
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Larger number:

16

Smaller number

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number: 16

Smaller number: 3

Explanation:

Suppose the larger number is

a

and the smaller number is

b

.

You solve the following system of equations:

a⋅b=48

a−13=b

Since b is a −13, you can plug that into a⋅b=48, so...a⋅(a−13)=48

a 2−13a=48

a2−13a−48=0

Factor the polynomial:

(a−16)(a+3)=0

a=16 or a=−3a is positive so a=16.

We can now solve for b by plugging in a, so...16−13=b3=b We have a=16 and b=3, meaning that the larger number is 16 and the smaller number is 3.
