Answer: No It's not proportional as the constant of proportionality for both of them.are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first part of the question, a 150-pound teenager eats 5.5 pounds of food per day, we've to calculate the constant of proportionality. This will be:

y = kx

150 = 5.5k

k = 27.27

For the second part of the question, a 250-pound panda eats 40 pounds of bamboo a day. we've to calculate the constant of proportionality. This will be:

y = kx

250 = 40k

k = 250/40

k = 6.25

This shows that the 150-pound teenager eats 5.5 pounds of food per day, is not proportional to a 250-pound panda eating 40 pounds of bamboo a day because th e value of k are different.

Find the value of x if 9^1/2 • 9^1/2 = x^√81
mario62 [17]

Answer:

(√9)^2x-1/2 = 1/81

3^2x-1/2 = 1/(3)⁴. (as √9 = 3)

3^2x-1/2 = 3^-⁴. (as 1/a^m = a^-m)

as base are equal exponents are equal

so 3 gets cancelled out

2x-1/2 = -4

(4x-1)/2 = -4

4x-1 = -8

x = -7/4

hope this helps
