Answer:

Blank 1) 2 1/3 yards : 7 Feet

Blank 2) 1 yards : 3 Feet

Blank 3) 2 yards : 6 Feet

Blank 4) 1.5 yards : 4.5 Feet

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is: k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

y ∝ x

y = kx

Here, k is the constant of proportionality.

From the table, taking the first two points to determine the constant of proportionality.

Yards Feet

1/2 1.5

1/3 1

Using the equation

substituting y = 1.5 and x = 1/2

y = kx

k = y/x

k = (1.5) / (1/2)

k = 1.5 / 0.5

k = 3

also substituting y = 1 and x = 1/3

k = y/x

k = 1 / (1/3)

k = 3

As the constant of proportionality is the same.

Therefore, the constant of proportionality = k = 3

Determining Blank 1

Yards = x = 2 1/3 = 7/3

y = blank 1 = Feet ?

k = 3

Using the equation

y = kx

blank 1 = Feet = y = 3 (7/3)

blank 1 = Feet = y = 7

Therefore, Blank 1 = y = Feet = 7

In other words,

When Yards = 2 1/3, then Feet = 7

Determining Blank 2

Feet = y = 3

Blank 2 = x = yards ?

k = 3

Using the equation

y = kx

Blank 2 = x = yards = y/k

Blank 2 = x = yards = 3/3

Blank 2 = x = yards = 1

Therefore, Blank 2 = yards = x = 1

In other words,

When Yards = 1, then Feet = 3

Determining Blank 3

yards = x = 2

Blank 3 = y = Feet ?

k = 3

Using the equation

y = kx

y = Blank 3 = Feet = 3(2)

y = Blank 3 = Feet = 6

Therefore, Blank 3 = Feet = y = 6

In other words,

When Yards = 2, then Feet = 6

Determining Blank 4

Feet = y = 4.5

Blank 4 = x = Yards ?

k = 3

Using the equation

y = kx

x = Blank 4 = y/k

x = Blank 4 = 4.5/3

x = Blank 4 = 1.5

Therefore, Blank 4 = x = Yards= 1.5

In other words,

When Yards = 1.5, then Feet = 4.5

Summary:

Blank 1) 2 1/3 yards : 7 Feet

Blank 2) 1 yards : 3 Feet

Blank 3) 2 yards : 6 Feet

Blank 4) 1.5 yards : 4.5 Feet

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is: k = 3

The domain of this function is {-12,-6,3,15}. Y=-2/3x+7

Evgen [1.6K]

Considering the given function, the table is completed as follows:

x|y

-12|15

-6| 11

3|5

15|-3

<h3>Which is the function?</h3>

The function is defined by:

$y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 7$

Hence, when x = -12:

$y = -\frac{2}{3}(-12) + 7 = 15$

When x = -6:

$y = -\frac{2}{3}(-6) + 7 = 11$

When x = 3:

$y = -\frac{2}{3}(3) + 7 = 5$

When x = 15:

$y = -\frac{2}{3}(15) + 7 = -3$

Solve for x I need help on this question

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$x\approx7.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

In relation to the given angle, we are given the triangle's opposite side and hypotenuse. Therefore, we use the sine function to set up a proportion and solve for the opposite side:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$sin(23^\circ)=\frac{x}{20}$

$20sin(23^\circ)=x$

$x=20sin(23^\circ)$

$x\approx7.8$

Therefore, the length of the opposite side is about 7.8 units

$\bf 5n^2+6n+7=n^2-4n\implies 5n^2+6n+7-n^2+4n=0
\\\\\\
4n^2+10n+7=0\\\\

discriminant\implies b^2-4ac=
\begin{cases}
0&\textit{one solution}\\
positive&\textit{two solutions}\\
negative&\textit{no solution}
\end{cases}$

if you get a positive value, that means 2 real solutions
if you get 0, means 1 real solution only
if you get a negative value, is an imaginary root solution, same as saying no solution.
