If y is proportional to the sqaure root of x and y equal x when x equal 5,evaluate y when x eqaul 9.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$y = 3\, \sqrt{5}$ when $x = 9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that $y$ is proportional to $\sqrt{x}$ . In other words, there is a constant $a$ ( $a \ne 0$ ) such that $y = a\, \sqrt{x}$ for all $x \ge 0$ .

The question also states that $y = x$ when $x = 5$ . Make use of this equality to find the value of $a$ .

Since $x = 5$ and $y = x$ , it must be true that $y = 5$ . Substitute $x = 5\!$ and $y = 5\!$ into the equation $y = a\, \sqrt{x}$ and solve for $a$ :

$5 = a\, \sqrt{5}$ .

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{5}{\sqrt{5}} \\ &= \sqrt{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, $y = \sqrt{5}\, (\sqrt{x})$ for all $x \ge 0$ .

Substitute in the value $x = 9$ to find the corresponding value of $y$ :

$\begin{aligned} y &= \sqrt{5} \, (\sqrt{9}) \\ &= \sqrt{5} \times 3 \\ &= 3\, \sqrt{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Kyle drew three line segments with lengths: 2/4 inch 2/3inch, and 2/6 inch list the fractions in order from least to greatest

Sati [7]

----------------------------------------------------------------
Method 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Since the numerators are the same, the smaller the denominators, the greater the fraction is.

Arranging from the least to the greatest
$\dfrac{2}{6} \ , \ \dfrac{2}{4} \ , \ \dfrac{2}{3}$

----------------------------------------------------------------
Method 2
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lets change all to the same denominators

$\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{2 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \dfrac{6}{12}$

$\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{2 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \dfrac{8}{12}$

$\dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{2 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \dfrac{4}{12}$

Now that all the denominators are the same, we can arrange the fractions by comparing the numerators. The bigger the numerators, the greater the fraction.

Arranging from the least to the greatest
$\dfrac{2}{6} \ , \ \dfrac{2}{4} \ , \ \dfrac{2}{3}$
