The table gives the surface areas, in square kilometres, of five seas.
1 answer:
The table is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the correct question is;
The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Work out the value of k.
Give your answer to the nearest whole number
Answer:
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached table,
Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²
Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²
We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Thus;
1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)
k = 1.25/0.422
k = 2.96
Approximating to whole number gives;
k = 3

The graph of a function is given. It is required to find the function that represents the graph.
Notice from the graph that the function has roots or zeros at -3,-2, and 2.
Hence, the function takes the form:
Where a is a constant to be determined.
Notice that the given graph passes through the point (0,-12).
Substitute x=0 and f(x)=-12 into the equation of the function to find a:
Hence, the function is:
