solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
and 
We can solve for f(x) by writing

Let 

Then


We know that f(0) = 0 so we can find the value for k:

Therefore,

Using the area of a rectangle, it is found that her patio should have a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.
<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>
The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
A = lw.
In this problem:
- She has enough tiles to cover 324 square feet, hence A = 324.
- She wants the length of the patio to be 15 feet longer than the width, hence l = 15 + w.
Thus:
324 = w(15 + w)
w^2 + 15w - 324 = 0
w = -27 or w = 12.
We take the positive value, hence l = 15 + w = 15 + 12 = 27 feet.
The dimensions should be a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.

Answer:
(a) 95% of people have an IQ score between 66 and 134.
(b) 32% of people have an IQ score of less than 83 or greater than 117.
(c) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 117
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain x, we can sum the angles < AQB and < BQC
=> 5X + 8X - 24
=> 13X -24
we are also told that that the sum of their angles is 80
13X - 24 = 80
13 X = 24 + 80
13X = 104
Divide both sides by 13
x = 104/13
x = 8
