Hello
if m s : sum and p : <span> product
the </span><span> quadratic equation is : x²-sx+p=0
s = 5 p=-24

Match the real-world problem to its constant of proportionality.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas : k = 6.12

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas . k = 1.39

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes . k = 4.12

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookie . k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>PROPORTIONALITY:</u>

Two quantities x and y are said to proportional to each other

if for x ∝ y , x = y k.

Here, k i s called the PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT.

⇒ $x \propto y \implies k = \frac{x}{y}$

Now, for the given quantities:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{18.36}{3} = 6.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 6.12.

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas [box]

Here, $k = \frac{4.17}{3} = 1.39$

So, the proportionality constant is 1.39.

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes [box]

Here, $k = \frac{16.48}{4} = 4.12$

So, the proportionality constant is 4.12.

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies

Here, $k = \frac{24}{2} = 12$

So, the proportionality constant is 12

Read the question and help me, please.

<h3>Answer: B) 6</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Add the equations by adding the terms straight down.

The x terms add to x+x = 2x.

The y terms add to y+(-y) = y-y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go away

The constants add to 5+7 = 12

The z terms add to -z+z = 0z = 0 and those go away as well

After all that adding, we have 2x = 12 which solves to x = 6 after dividing both sides by 2.

Maxine can swim 240 meters in 4 minutes. What is Maxine's unit rate?

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: A) 18.2 minutes
B) 4.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Maxine can mow one lawn in 24 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/24 of the lawn per minute.
Sammie can mow one lanw in 36 minutes, so the rate of work is:
1/36 of the lawn per minute.
The amount of the lawn that each has left to lawn by the minute x is:
Maxine = 1 -(1/24)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/36)*x
we want to find the value of x such that:
2*(1 - (1/24)*x) = 1 - *(1/36)*x
which means that the amount that Sammie has left is two times the amount that Maxine has left to mow.
2 - (1/12)*x = 1 - (1/36)*x
2 - 1 = (1/12 - 1/36)*x
1/0.055 = x = 18.2
by the minute 18.2
B) Similar to before, here the rates are:
For Maxine, R = 1/6
For Sammie, R = 1/9
The amount they have left to mow by minute x is:
Maxine = 1 - (1/6)*x
Sammie = 1 - (1/9)*x
We want to solve, similar to before.
2( 1 - (1/6)*x) = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - (1/3)*x = 1 - (1/9)*x
2 - 1 = (1/3 - 1/9)*x
1 = (2/9)*x
1*9/2 = x = 4.5
So here the solution is 4.5 minutes. Hope this helps
