Answer:

we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when 'y' varies directly with 'x', we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case, the table shows the distance Allison drove on one day of her vacation.

Time (h)              1         2        3          4        5

Distance (mi)       55    100     165     280    250

using the equation

k = y/x

susbtitute y = 55, x = 1

k = 55/1 = 55

substitute y = 100, x = 2

k = y/x

k = 100 / 2 = 50

substitute y = 165, x = 3

k = y/x

k = 165 / 3 = 55

substitute y = 280, x = 4

k = y/x

k = 280 / 4 = 70

substitute y = 250, x = 5

k = y/x

k = 250 / 5 = 50

It is clear that the value of 'k' does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.

The period of a function is 4 pi how many cycles of the function occur in a horizontal length of 12 pi
eduard

Answer:

3 cycles

Step-by-step explanation:

in one period, you have one full cycle

because the period for this function is 4pi, you have one cycle per 4pi

if you have a total of 12pi, you would have 3 cycles (12pi/4pi=3)

hope this helps!

What is y=x-4 2x+y=5
ahrayia [7]
If you would like to solve y = x - 4 and 2 * x + y = 5, you can do this using the following steps:

y = x - 4
2 * x + y = 5
_____________
2 * x + (x - 4) = 5
2 * x + x = 5 + 4
3 * x = 9     /3
x = 9 / 3 
x = 3

y = x - 4 = 3 - 4 = -1

The correct result would be x = 3 and y = -1.

X^2 - 36 = 0.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

(x+6)(x−6)=0

x=-6 or x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2 - 36 = 0

Solve by Square Root

add 36 both sides

x^2−36+36=0+36

x^2=36

square root

x=±√36

x=6 or x=−6

You can do that or for 2nd option

Solve by factoring

x^2-36=0

(x+6)(x−6)=0

Set factors equal to 0

x+6=0 or x−6=0

x=-6 or x=6

PLEASE NOTE: 36 is the square of 6

and

x2  is the square of  x1
