If y varies directly as​ x, and y=8 when x=3​, find y when x=15.

Mathematics

Answer:

y=40

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Direct Variation is y=kx or k=y/x. In this case I would use k=y/x. If you're y is 8 and x is 3, this means that K=8/3. Using this, we know that X=15. We have to find a Y value so that the fraction with an x of 15 simplified is 8/3. To do this you would write 8/3 and y/15. Now cross multiply to get 3y=120. Divide by 3 to get y=40.

Foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona para uma criança com febre.Na unidade tem disponivel ampola de 1g/2ml.Quantos g vão ser admin
Valentin [98]

De acordo com a disponibilidade da unidade, há apenas a seguinte dosagem: 1g/2mL - ou seja, uma grama de dipirona a cada 2mL

O enunciado está meio mal formulado, pois é dito que foram prescritos 500mg de dipirona e é essa quantidade de farmaco que a criança tem que tomar. Deseja-se saber quantos mL deverao ser administrados.

Fazendo a classica regra de 3, podemos chegar no volume desejado:

(atentar que 500mg = 0,5g)

     g               mL

     1    ---------   2

    0,5  ---------  X    

1 . X = 0,5 . 2

<h3>X = 1mL</h3>

Two cars start out together from the same place. they travel in opposite​ directions, with one of them traveling 5 miles per hou
Mashutka [201]
<u>Annotation</u>
General formula for distance-time-velocity relationship is as following
d = v × t
The velocity of the first car will be v₁, the time is 2 hours, the distance will be d₁.
The velocity of the second car will be v₂, the time is 2 hours, the distance will be d₂.


One of them traveling 5 miles per hour faster than the others. That means the velocity of the first car is 5 miles per hour more than the velocity of the second car.
v₁ = v₂ + 5  (first equation)

The distance of the two cars after two hours will be 262 miles apart. Because they go to opposite direction, we could write it as below.
d₁ + d₂ = 262 (second equation)

Plug the d-v-t relationship to the second equation
d₁ + d₂ = 262
v₁ × t + v₂ × t = 262
v₁ × 2 + v₂ × 2 = 262
2v₁ + 2v₂ = 262

Plug the v₁ as  (v₂+5) from the first equation
2v₁ + 2v₂ = 262
2(v₂ + 5) + 2v₂ = 262
2v₂ + 10 + 2v₂ = 262
4v₂ + 10 = 262
4v₂ = 252
v₂ = 252/4
v₂ = 63
The second car is 63 mph fast.

Find the velocity of the first car, use the first equation
v₁ = v₂ + 5
v₁ = 63 + 5
v₁ = 68
The first car is 68 mph fast.

Answer
\boxed{\boxed{ v_{1}=68mph} }
\boxed{\boxed{ v_{2}=63mph} }

You roll a 4-sided die repeatedly. On your odd-numbered rolls (1st,3rd,5th, etc.) you are victorious if you get a 4. On your eve
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

E (Y) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 4-sided die is being rolled repeatedly; and the odd-numbered rolls (1st 3rd,5th, etc.)

The probability of odd number roll will be, p(T) = \frac{1}{2}

However, on your even-numbered rolls, you are victorious if you get a 3 or 4. Also, the  probability of even number roll, p(U) = \frac{1}{2}

In order to  calculate: E (Y); We can say Y to be the number of times you roll.

We know that;

E (Y) = E ( Y|T ) p(T) + E ( Y|U ) p(U)

Let us calculate E ( Y|T ) and E ( Y|U )

Y|T ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{4}

Y|U ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{2}

also; x ≅ geometric (p)

∴ E (x) = \frac{1}{p}

⇒ \frac{Y}{T} = 4 ; also \frac{Y}{U} = 2

E (Y) = 4 × \frac{1}{2} + 2 ×

        = 2+1

E (Y) = 3
