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

Mathematics

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})

An element with mass 130 grams decays by 22% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 7 minutes, to the nearest 10
shepuryov [24]

22.8 grams of element will be remaining after 7 minutes

Further explanation:

Given

Mass\ of\ element=130g\\Percentage\ of\ reduction=22\%

The element reduces (1-22%) in one minute.

The process will be repeated 7 times for 7 minutes

If we have to calculate the amount of element after 7 minutes

then the total reduction will be: (1-22%)^7

Remaining\ amount=130*(1-22\%)^7\\=130*(1-0.22)^7\\=130*(0.78)^7\\=130*0.18\\=22.84g\\Rounding\ off\ to\ nearest\ tenth\\=22.8g

22.8 grams of element will be remaining after 7 minutes

There are 7 acts in a talent show.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Event A: 1/35</em></u>
  • <u><em>Event B: 1/840</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

<u>Event A</u>

For the event A, the order of the first 4 acts does not matter.

The number of different four acts taken from a set of seven acts, when the order does not matter, is calculated using the concept of combinations.

Thus, the number of ways that the first <em>four acts</em> can be scheduled is:

          C(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}

         C(7,4)=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7!}{4!(3)!}=35

And<em> the number of ways that four acts is the singer, the juggler, the guitarist, and the violinist, in any order</em>, is 1: C(4,4).

Therefore the<em> probability of Event A</em> is:

           P(A)=1/35

Event B

Now the order matters. The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. When the order matters you need to use permutations.

The number of ways in which <em>four acts </em>can be scheculed when the order matters is:

           P(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{(m-n)!}

         P(m,n)=\dfrac{7!}{(7-4)!}=P(m,n)=\dfrac{7!}{4!}=840

The number of ways <em>the comedian is first, the guitarist is second, the dancer is third, and the juggler is fourth</em> is 1: P(4,4)

Therefore, <em>the probability of Event B</em> is:

            P(B)=1/840
