Answer:

k= 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

x is proportional to y

x = ky (k is const.)

k = x/y

k= 5/25

k = 1/5

Answer:

Equation of direct variation is : $\mathbf{y=5x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given: x= 5 and y=25

We need to write equation of direct variation.

The formula for direct variation is: $\mathbf{y=kx}$

So, if y=25 and x=5, k will be:

$y=kx\\25=k(5)\\k=\frac{25}{5}\\k=5$

So, equation of direct variation is : $\mathbf{y=5x}$

Can you show me the work to get this answer write two expressions that have a gcf of 8xy

BigorU [14]

1) Expression 1: 16x^3 y

2) Expression 2: 24 xy^5

Procedure:

1) find the greatest common factor of the coefficients, 16 and 24:

16 = 2^4

24 = (2^3)*3

=> greatest common factor = 2^3 = 8

2) find the greatest common factor of x^3 y and xy^5

That is the common letters each raised to the lowest power:

=> xy

3) Then, the result is 8xy

Answer:

Gerrard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the size of each poster be $x$

Eve's poster portion painted will be

$=\frac{1}{6}\times x\\=\frac{x}6}$

Gerrard's painted portion will be:

$=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\=\frac{x}{5}$

From the two inequalities, we find that $\frac{x}{5}$ is greater than $\frac{x}{6}$ by x/30

$\frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{6}\\=\frac{x}{30}\\$

hence Gerrard has the larger blue section. His portion is 16.67% greater than Eve's

The table shows a student's proof of the quotient rule for logarithms.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The error is at step (3) .

The correct step (3) will be,

$\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})$

= $\log_{b}(b^{x - y})$ [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is at the step (3) , because the student has tried to prove the quotient rule of logarithms by using the property i.e., 'The quotient rule of logarithm' itself , i.e. ,by assuming the property does hold before proving it. So, the proof is fallacious.

The correct step (3) will be,

$\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})$

= $\log_{b}(b^{x - y})$ [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.
