Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for inverse proportion is y = \frac{k}{x}

k is the constant of probability

to find k,

y is 12, x is 6

12 = \frac{k}{6}

so x = 12 × 6

∴ k is 72

so y = \frac{72}{8}

∴ y is 9

A sea lion dove from the waters surface at sea level to an altitude of -216.12 meters in 2.4 minutes. What is the average change
miskamm [114]

Answer: Average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Height at which a sea lion dove from the water surface at sea level = (-)216.12 meters

We'll neglect the negative sign while finding the value of average rate of change.

Time taken to reach the above altitude = 2.4 minutes

So, Average change in the sea lions altitude per minute is given by

\frac{216.12}{2.4}=90.05\text{ meters per minute}

Hence, average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.

2=m/2-7<br><br><br>M/2 is a fraction btw​
ad-work [718]

Answer:

18 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

2=m/2-7

Add 7 to each side

2+7=m/2 - 7+7

9 = m/2

Multiply each side by 2

9*2 = m/2 * 2

18 = m

Westley and Buttercup are each saving money. Westley starts with $85 in in his savings and add $5 per week (y=85+5x)
love history [14]

Answer:

After 5 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Westley starts with $85 and saves $5 per week. So:

y=85+5x

Buttercup starts with $10 and saves $20 per week. So:

y=10+20x

When they have the same amount of money, the two equations will be equal to each other. Therefore:

85+5x=10+20x

Solve for x. Subtract 10 from both sides:

75+5x=20x

Subtract 5x from both sides:

75=15x

Divide both sides by 15:

x=5

Westley and Buttercup will have the same amount of money after 5 weeks.

State the value of the discriminant for <br><br>y = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5x%5E2%2B9x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="5x^
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

141, meaning that there will be two real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant of a quadratic is b^2-4ac, which in this case is:

9^2-4(5)(-3)=81+60=141

Since the discriminant is positive and not zero, there will be two real solutions to this equation. This is because when the discriminant is negative, and you take the square root of it, you get a negative number. If you take the square root of 0, you get 0, which means that there will only be one solution to the equation.

Hope this helps!
