Answer:

The value of y is 99

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 y/x=k 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 the line passes through the origin

therefore

Is a proportional variation

Find the value of k

with the point (-2.5,-5.5)

k=y/x=-5.5/-2.5=2.2

The equation is equal to

y=2.2x

so

For x=45

substitute

y=2.2(45)=99

Answer: the value of y is 99

Starting point of the caterpillar = (−2.5, −5.5)

Crawled to the coordinate = (45, y)

y =?

Given that, it crawled in a straight line:

x and y are two variables that are directly proportional to one another  

y/x = k  

Where k is the constant of proportionality since it passes through the origin

-5.5/-2.5 = k  

2.2 = k

So,

y/x = 2.2

So take the coordinate (45,y)

y =2.2 * 45

y  = 99

Determine whether the integral from -3 to infinity 1/sqrt (5 - x) is divergent or convergent. If it is convergent, evaluate it.
BigorU [14]

It's divergent because 1/√(5 - <em>x</em>) is defined only for <em>x</em> < 5, which means the integral from 5 to infinity doesn't exist.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

|3x + 4 | + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

(f+g)(x)= f(x) + g(x)

= |3x+4| + 2 + 4

= | 3x + 4 | + 6

alexandr402 [8]

Answer: Expensive car which cost less to operate.


Step-by-step explanation: When purchasing a new expensive car it is much more reliable, the risk you run with buying a used car is it breaking down on you while you are driving. Much less likely to happen with a new car.

Pizza-By-The-Slice sells 7 slices every 10 minutes on average. How many
Dvinal [7]
I think you’re answer is 42 slices of pizza.

the way i worked it out is by finding out how many minutes are in an hour (60 mins). after that i divided it by 10(mins), which would have gotten me 6. therefore i multiplied 7 x 6 which gave me 42.
