Answer:

k = - \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x varies directly with y then the equation relating them is

x = ky ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = - 3 when y = 12

- 3 = 12k ( divide both sides by 12 )

\frac{-3}{12} = k , that is

k = - \frac{1}{4}

An anthropologist studies a woman's femur that was uncovered in Madagascar. To estimate the woman's height, he uses the equation
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The inequality f>40 represents the length of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

h=60+2.5f

Where, h is woman's height in centimeters and f is length of the femur in centimeters.

If woman's height is greater than 160cm, then

h>160

60+2.5f>160

Substract 60 from both sides.

2.5f>100

Divide both sides by 2.5.

f>40

Therefore the inequality  f>40 represents the lengths of the femur for which the woman had a height greater than 160cm.

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole ?
mezya [45]
To start solving, separate this shape into 2 separate shapes. The dimensions of the smaller shape are 2 by 3 feet. The dimensions of the larger one are 3 by 11 feet. To find the area of an object, multiply its dimensions. Therefore, you multiply 2 by 3 and 3 by 11. You will get the products 6 and 33. Since we are still working within the same shape, however, you add the products together. You get 39. Therefore, 39 ft. squared is the answer.
