Answer:

The answer is : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is that y varies directly as x.

Means as y increases or decreases, x also increases or decreases.

When y is 6 when x is 72,

So, when x = 8, we have to find y.

We can write the relation as follows:

\frac{6}{y}= \frac{72}{8}

72y=48

y=\frac{48}{72} = \frac{2}{3}

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x

Y =kx

Y=6 when x = 72

First find the relationship between y and x.

i.e find the value of k

Substitute the value of x and y

6 = k *72

Make k the subject of the formula

K = 6/72

K= 1/12

:. The rlationship between x and y is

Y = 1/12x

When x is 8

Y = 1/12 * 8

Y = 8/12

Y = 2/3 and that is the answer

When a sprinkler is installed in the ground, the spray of water goes up and falls in the pattern of a parabola. The height, in i
poizon [28]

Answer:

96feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray

To get the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head, we will simply substitute x =2 into the function and et the height h as shown;

From the equation

ℎ(x)=160−16x^2

h(2) = 160-16(2)²

h(2) = 160-16(4)

h(2) = 160-64

h(2) = 96feet

Hence the height will be 96feet if the spray is 2feet away from the sprinklers head
