Answer:

Please check the explanation.

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 direct variation'.

We are given that x = -2 and y = -2

Thus,

The equation is:

y = kx

substituting x = -2 and y = -2

-2 = k(-2)

-2 = -2k

We can further simplify the equation to determine the value of 'k'

so

dividing the equation by -2

-2/-2 = -2k/-2

1 = k

Therefore, the value of k = 1

Thus, the equation becomes

y = kx

substituting k = 1 in the equation

y = (1)x

y = x

Therefore, an equation that relates x and y is:

y = x

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = x2 + 4x + 10?
Nady [450]
F(x) = x² + 4x + 10

f(x) - 10 = x² + 4x

perfect square:
x² + 4x + 4 ⇒ (x + 2)²

(x + 2)² = x(x+2) + 2(x+2) = x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 4x + 4

f(x) - 10 + 4 = x² + 4x + 4
f(x) - 6 = (x+2)²
f(x) = (x+2)² + 6

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST! pls help thank u sm!! :-) u are all amazing
Andrews [41]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(x+9)^{\frac{3}{4} } = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

(x+9)^{\frac{3}{4} } = 8

Raise both sides to the power of \frac{4}{3}

x + 9 = 8^{\frac{4}{3} } = (\sqrt[3]{8}) ^{4} = 2^{4} = 16 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

x = 7 → C
