Answer:

The constant of variation is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation, as y varies directly with x, the standard equation is

y = kx,

where k is the constant of variation.

In your case, we use R and S. R varies directly with S, so we have

R = kS

We know that when S = 16, R is 80, so we plug in those values and solve for k, the constant of variation.

R = kS

80 = k(16)

k = 80/16

k = 5

Answer:

285

Step-by-step explanation:

use algebra

third is x

second is 4x

first is 4x-3

x+4x+4x-3

9x-3 = x+x+1+x+2

9x-3=3x+3

Transform the following polar equation into an equation in rectangular coordinates: r=2 cos theta A. x + y = 2 B. y = 2x C. x =

Mila [183]

$r=2\cos\theta$
$r^2=2r\cos\theta$
$\implies x^2+y^2=2x$
$x^2-2x+y^2=0$
$x^2-2x+1+y^2=1$
$(x-1)^2+y^2=1$

Which graph represents the polar curve r = 4cos(30)?

stepan [7]

The equation of the polar curve $r = 4\cos(3\theta)$ is an even cosine function.

<h3>Polar curves</h3>

In geometry, polar curves are curves that are represented by the polar coordinates such that they are drawn around a fixed point

The equation of the polar curve is given as:

$r = 4\cos(3\theta)$

To graph the polar curve, we make use of the following representations:

r represents the y-axis
$\theta$ represents the x-axis

Using the above representation, we can graph the polar curve

See attachment for the graph that represents $r = 4\cos(3\theta)$
