Question:

Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Answer:

(a) k = 5

(b) y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccccc}x & {2} & {4} & {6} & {8} \ \\ y & {10} & {20} & {30} & {40} \ \ \end{array}

Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:

Pick any two corresponding x and y values

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

(x_2,y_2) = (6,30)

The constant of proportionality k is:

k = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

k = \frac{30-10}{6-2}

k = \frac{20}{4}

k = 5

Solving (b): The equation

In (a), we have:

(x_1,y_1) = (2,10)

k can also be expressed as:

k = \frac{y- y_1}{x- x_1}

Substitute values for x1, y1 and k

5 = \frac{y- 10}{x- 2}

Cross multiply:

y - 10 = 5(x - 2)

Open bracket

y - 10 = 5x - 10

Add 10 to both sides

y - 10 +10= 5x - 10+10

y = 5x

Find the area of the regular polygon below and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
stira [4]
The 9-sided polygon will have a central angle between the vertex and the center of one side of 360°/(2*9) = 20°. Then the apothem is
  a = (6 in/2)*cot(20°) ≈ 8.242432 in
The perimeter is 9*6 in = 54 in, so the area is
  A = (1/2)Pa = (1/2)*(54 in)*(8.242432 in) ≈ 222.5 in²

Find the partial fraction decomposition of x-3/x(x^2+3)
Setler [38]

Answer:

-1 / x + (x + 1) / (x² + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x − 3) / (x (x² + 3))

There are two factors in the denominator, so split this into two fractions with unknown numerators:

A / x + (Bx + C) / (x² + 3)

Combine back into one fraction:

(A (x² + 3) + (Bx + C) x) / (x (x² + 3))

Now equate this numerator with the original:

A (x² + 3) + (Bx + C) x = x − 3

Ax² + 3A + Bx² + Cx = x − 3

(A + B) x² + Cx + 3A = x − 3

Match the coefficients:

A + B = 0

C = 1

3A = -3

Solve:

A = -1

B = 1

C = 1

Therefore, the partial fraction decomposition is:

-1 / x + (x + 1) / (x² + 3)

Here's a graph showing that the two are the same:

Please help me with this problem<br><br>​
Maru [420]

Answer:

g(x) = -5x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point from f(x) is plotted using the slope, the coordinate would be located at (1, 5) since the slope of 5x tells us we go up 5 units from the origin and over 1 unit to the right.  That point will be reflected through the x-axis to land at (1, -5).  That means that the equation of the new line would be

g(x) = -5x
