If y is directly proportional to x and y = 5 when x =2, what is the value of y when x=6

Mathematics

Answer:

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx

5 =k*2

Solve for k

Divide by 2

5/2 = k

y = 5/2 x

Now we substitute x=6

y = 5/2(6)

y = 15

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variables are directly proportional, increasing one by a factor of 3 will mean the other one also increases by a factor of 3.

6 is 3 times 2, so the value of y will be 3 times 5, or 15.

___

You can write the relation as a proportion:

y/x = 5/2 = ?/6

Multiplying by 6 gives ...

(5/2)·6 = ? = 15

___

Or, you can bother with an equation relating x and y:

y = kx

5 = k·2 . . . plug in the given values and solve for k

5/2 = k . . . divide by 2

Then ...

y = (5/2)·6 = 15 . . . . same as the proportion, above.

If you rearrange this to y = 5·(6/2) then you see the relation described at the beginning of this solution. The new value of y is the old value multiplied by the factor by which x changes.

Find the number of letters from the word MAXIMUM where two consonants cannot occur. (Permutation)​
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

4!

Step-by-step explanation:

In word MAXIMUM, consonants are M & X. According to the question itself, consonants should not occur together.

So, we have to put vowels at each even position; only then the condition will be satisfied.

We can put this in 3! ways (permutations of A, I & U).  

For odd positions we can put 3-M's & a X. Total ways is 4!/3!   (as repetitions of M).

Hence, the answer is 4!/3! x 3! = 24 ways.  

24=4!.
