Does the equation -x+4y=-2 represent a direct variation. if so what is the constant variation

Mathematics
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]2 years ago

Answer:

Yes it represents.

Variation tax = 0,25

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is the name we gave to the rate of change of a first degree function.

A first degree generic function is:

y = f(x) = ax + b

Now observe the question's function:

- x + 4y = -2

4y = x - 2

y = 1/4x - 2/4

y = f(x) = 0,25x - 0,5

0,25 is our constant variation, because any number that x assume will be multiplied by 0,25.

If you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago. How old am I?
mestny [16]

Answer:

You are currently 40 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.

x = current age

The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"

This can be represented like this:

1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13

Now we solve for x using basic algebra:

1/2(x) = x - 20

-1/2(x) = -20

x = 40

To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:

1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13

20 + 7 = 27

27 = 27

Hope this helps (●'◡'●)

If you had a 15 foot ladder, how far away from the base of a wall would you have to put it to reach a window 12 feet up?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

9.000000001

Step-by-step explanation:

If the hypotenuse is  15, the ladder, facing the right angle, and the opposite is 12 we need to use SOH to find the angle.

sin of angle is opposite / hypotenuse

sin of angle is 12 / 15

12/15 = 0.8

sin^-1 of 0.8 = 53.13010235

Angle is that

Then we do this again but a different equation

cos of angle is adjacent (x which we are looking for) / hypotenuse

cos of 53.13... is x / 15

(15 x cos of 53.13... )is x

So 15 x cos of 53.13... is 9.000000001 feet away.

Chase measured a line to be 8.9 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 9.5 inches, then what was the percent error of
Simora [160]

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage error in a measurement.

This can be obtained by first getting the error involved. That is calculated by Subtracting the value calculated from the actual value. That is 9.5 - 8.9 = 0.6

The percentage error is thus 0.6/9.5 * 100 = 6%

The value is actually 10% to the nearest tenth of a percent
