Calculate the constant of variation if y varies directly as x.

Mathematics
1 answer:
sweet [91]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

k = - \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies directly as x then the equation connecting them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the given condition y = - 3 when x = 2, hence

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-3}{2} = - \frac{3}{2}

THERE ARE 18 RED CRAYONS
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original ratio between the red and green crayons would be 18:24, but you would need to simplify that to reach your definite simplified answer. Doing this, you find the least common factor between 18 and 24 which is 3 for 18 and 4 for 24.

Will side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm form a triangle? explain.
Gelneren [198K]

Yes, that is the famous first Pythagorean triplet: 3²+4²=5²

or

For three lengths to be able to form a triangle, it suffices that every one of those lengths is shorter than the sum and longer than the difference of the other two.

It is enough to check just one side.

So,

3 + 4 > 5

4 - 3 < 5

Your triangle is constructible.

Problem Page Ann will run more than 38 miles this week. So far, she has run 21 miles. What are the possible numbers of additiona
krok68 [10]
She has run 21 miles already. Let t be the number of additional miles added on. 

In total, she has run t+21 miles 

This is going to be set greater than 38 since "Ann will run more than 38 miles"

So we have this inequality

t+21 > 38

we solve for t by subtracting 21 from both sides

t+21 > 38
t+21-21 > 38-21
t+0 > 17
t > 17

The final answer is t > 17

which means that the possible additional number of miles she could run is anything larger than 17. So t = 18 is one possibility.
