Find the constant of variation k for the direct variation. 2x + 6y = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

k=-\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin

In this problem we have

2x+6y=0

Isolate the variable y

subtract 2x both sides

2x+6y-2x=0-2x

6y=-2x

Divide by 6 both sides

y=-\frac{1}{3}x

therefore

The constant of variation is equal to

k=-\frac{1}{3}

X/5-2=x/2+3 solve for x
Makovka662 [10]
Solve for x:x/5 - 2 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/5 - 2 over the common denominator 5: x/5 - 2 = x/5 - (10)/5:x/5 - (10)/5 = x/2 + 3
x/5 - (10)/5 = (x - 10)/5:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 3
Put each term in x/2 + 3 over the common denominator 2: x/2 + 3 = x/2 + 6/2:(x - 10)/5 = x/2 + 6/2
x/2 + 6/2 = (x + 6)/2:(x - 10)/5 = (x + 6)/2
Multiply both sides by 10:(10 (x - 10))/5 = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/5 = (5×2)/5 = 2:2 (x - 10) = (10 (x + 6))/2
10/2 = (2×5)/2 = 5:2 (x - 10) = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the left hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 (x + 6)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:2 x - 20 = 5 x + 30
Subtract 5 x from both sides:(2 x - 5 x) - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
2 x - 5 x = -3 x:-3 x - 20 = (5 x - 5 x) + 30
5 x - 5 x = 0:-3 x - 20 = 30
Add 20 to both sides:(20 - 20) - 3 x = 20 + 30
20 - 20 = 0:-3 x = 30 + 20
30 + 20 = 50:-3 x = 50
Divide both sides of -3 x = 50 by -3:(-3 x)/(-3) = 50/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:x = 50/(-3)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 50/(-3) by -1:Answer:  x = (-50)/3

WILL MEDAL help me if please
nordsb [41]
1. Use the FOIL method (x+9)(x+9)
First, outer, inner, last
x^{2} +9x+9x+81
Add your like terms
x^{2} +18x+81

2. When you add or subtract polynomials you add or subtract the like terms and then put them in order from largest to smallest exponents.

3. -5x(5 x^{3} +10 x^{2} -6x+3)

4. Since it is the perimeter, we add the 3 together.
(2 x^{2} +4x-3)+(-3 x^{2} -3)+(5x+19)
Add the like terms together:
2 x^{2} +(-3 x^{2} )=- x^{2}  \\ 4x+5x=9x \\ -8+(-3)+19=8
Put them in order of exponents
- x^{2} +9x+8

Hope this helps

so there is 9 on 2 sides, which is 18 when it gets added together. DONT FORGET ABOUT THE OTHER 2 SIDES!! you have four sides of the square so 9x4=36. I believe the answer is actually 36
