Answer:

When two variables are directly or indirectly proportional to each other, then their relationship can be described as y = kx or y = k/x, where k determines how the two variables are related to one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

This k is known as the constant of proportionality.

Find a formula for the described function. A rectangle has perimeter 16 m. Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of

Alex17521 [72]

Part A:

Let the length of one of the sides of the rectangle be L, then the length of the other side is obtained as follow.

Let the length of the other side be x, then

$2(L+x)=16 \\ \\ \Rightarrow L+x=8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=8-L$

Thus, if the length of one of the side is x, the length of the other side is 8 - L.

Hence, the area of the rectangle in terms of L is given by

$L(8 - L) = 8L-L^2$

Part B:

To find the domain of A

Recall that the domain of a function is the set of values which can be assumed by the independent variable. In this case, the domain is the set of values that L can take.

Notice that the length of a side of a rectangle cannot be negative or 0, thus L cannot be 8 as 8 - 8 = 0 or any number greater than 8.

Hence the domain of the area are the set of values between 0 and 8 not inclusive.

Therefore,

$dom(Area)=0\ \textless \ L\ \textless \ 8 \ or \ (0, 8)$

You are choosing between two health clubs. Club A offers membership for a fee of $ 28$28 plus a monthly fee of $ 20.$20. Club B

eimsori [14]

Answer:

That is to say that at 3 months, the values of the club are equal.

Club A = 268 dollars in total

Club B = 295 dollars in total

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to propose an equation for each club. Let m be the number of months.

Club A = 28 + 20 * m

Club B = 19 + 23 * m

Now, to know when it is the same, we must equal the value of Club A with Club B, it would look like this

28 + 20 * m = 19 + 23 * m

By rearranging the equation we have:

23 * m - 20 * m = 28-19

3 * m = 9

m = 3

That is to say that at 3 months, the values of the club are equal.

Now to know the total value, we will do it with an annual membership, which would be a total of 12 months, therefore it is to replace in the equation of each one:

Club A = 28 + 20 * 12 = 268 dollars in total

Club B = 19 + 23 * 12 = 295 dollars in total

Classify the following as either a discrete random variable or a continuous random variable.

taurus [48]

Answer: continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete random variable is defined as a random variable which consists of countable number. Examples include numbers of shoes, number of sales etc.

A continuous random variable is a random variable whereby the data can take several values. It is a random variable that takes time into consideration.

Therefore, the amount of time six randomly selected volleyball players play during a game will be a continuous random variable since time so involved.
