The graph of a proportional relationship will always be a straight line that passes through the origin. Why?

Mathematics

sashaice [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Being proportional between two entities, refers to the 'Constant of Proportionality' that would be fixed between them which establishes a relationship between them when multiplied or divided.

If we considered it on a graph, the 'Constant Of Proportionality' may take any real values between the coordinate pairs x and y [x,y]. As even 0 is a real number, it will surely be a constant of proportionality when multiplied since its product would result in itself (0). Hence, both x and y turns 0.

As the coordinates of the origin are always (0,0), the graph  (Or the slope) would surely pass through the origin.

Example :

If we consider a graph such that x=y.

And if we multiply or divide any real number (a) between them.

ax=ay

As a is a variable, and can take the value of 0, the graph can pass through the origin as x and y nullify becoming the coordinates of the origin.

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 296352 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimi
mestny [16]

Answer:

  • Base Length of 84cm
  • Height of 42 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a box with a square base and an open top which must have a volume of 296352 cubic centimetre. We want to minimize the amount of material used.

Step 1:

Let the side length of the base =x

Let the height of the box =h

Since the box has a square base

Volume, V=x^2h=296352

h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}

Surface Area of the box = Base Area + Area of 4 sides

A(x,h)=x^2+4xh\\$Substitute h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\\A(x)=x^2+4x\left(\dfrac{296352}{x^2}\right)\\A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}

Step 2: Find the derivative of A(x)

If\:A(x)=\dfrac{x^3+1185408}{x}\\A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}

Step 3: Set A'(x)=0 and solve for x

A'(x)=\dfrac{2x^3-1185408}{x^2}=0\\2x^3-1185408=0\\2x^3=1185408\\$Divide both sides by 2\\x^3=592704\\$Take the cube root of both sides\\x=\sqrt[3]{592704}\\x=84

Step 4: Verify that x=84 is a minimum value

We use the second derivative test

A''(x)=\dfrac{2x^3+2370816}{x^3}\\$When x=84$\\A''(x)=6

Since the second derivative is positive at x=84, then it is a minimum point.

Recall:

h=\dfrac{296352}{x^2}=\dfrac{296352}{84^2}=42

Therefore, the dimensions that minimizes the box surface area are:

  • Base Length of 84cm
  • Height of 42 cm.

The notation __1____ reads the probability of Event B given that Event A has occurred. If Events A and B are independent, then t
telo118 [61]

P(B|A) (option B)

Doesn't affect (option A)

P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)

Explanation:

1) Conditional probabilities could be in the form P(A|B) or P(B|A)

P(B|A) is a notation that reads the probability of event B given that event A has occurred.

P(B|A) (option B)

2) Independent events do not affect the outcome of each other

For event A and B to be independent, the probability of event A occurring doesn't affect the the probability of event B occurring

Doesn't affect (option A)

3) Events A and B are independent if the following are satisfied:

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

The ones that appeared in the option is P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)

F(x)=√x+11. Find the inverse of f(x).
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

f(x)⁻¹ = (x - 11)²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of the function, you need to (1) swap the places of the "x" and "y" variables and then (2) solve for "y". Remember, f(x) is another way of writing "y".

y = √x + 11                                        <----- Original equation

x = √y + 11                                        <----- Swap variables

x - 11 = √y                                         <----- Subtract 11 from both sides

(x - 11)² = (√y)²                                  <----- Square both sides

(x - 11)² = y                                        <----- Simplify

Another way of writing the output of an inverse function is with f(x)⁻¹.
