Answer:

We conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know if y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is called the constant of variation.

In our case we are given:

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

  • A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2minute.

here:

y = 255, and x = 1/2 = 0.5

so substituting y = 255 and x = 0.5 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 255 / 0.5

k = 510

A blimp travels 510 feet in 1/6 minute

here:

y = 510 , and x = 1/6

so substituting y = 510 and x = 1/6 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [510] / [1/6]

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

here

y = 3,060, and x = 1

so substituting y = 3,060 and x = 1 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 3,060 / 1

k = 3060

<u>HERE IS THE VARIATION OF THE CONSTANT OF VARIATION:</u>

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 510

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

k = 3060

It is clear that the constant of variation does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

A middle school took all of its 6th grade students on a field trip to see a symphony. The students filled 855 seats, which was 4
Alex

Answer:

1900

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = total seats

the number of students that filled the theatre can be represented with this equation

0.45 x a = 855

divide both sides by 0.45

a = 855/0.45 = 1900

A n-faced regular polyhedron consists of 2n edges and (2n-4) vertices. Find n .
ira [324]

We could use Euler's polyhedron formula:

F=n\qquad\qquad\text{(Faces)}\\\\E=2n\qquad\qquad\text{(Edges)}\\\\V=2n-4\qquad\qquad\text{(Vertices)}\\\\\\V-E+F=2\\\\2n-4-2n+n=2\\\\-4+n=2\qquad|+4\\\\\boxed{n=6}
