<h3>Answer: 2/9</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

The equation y = (2/9)x is in the form y = kx

In this case, k = 2/9.

The value of k is the constant of proportionality.

All direct proportion equations are in the form y = kx. Their graphs go through the origin. The slope of the line is the same as the constant of proportionality.

How many miles per gallon does the car get

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

25 miles for 1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph, for 1 gallon of gas, is about 25 miles. For 2 gallons, it is 50 miles. For 3 gallons, it is 75 miles. So based on the graph and the pattern, we can assume 1 gallon of gas will take the car 25 miles.

Find the following: F(x, y, z) = e^(xy) sin z j + y tan^−1(x/z)k Exercise Find the curl and the divergence of the vector field.

natulia [17]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=e^{xy}\sin z\,\vec\jmath+y\tan^{-1}\dfrac xz\,\vec k$

Divergence is easier to compute:

$\mathrm{div}\vec F=\dfrac{\partial(e^{xy}\sin z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial\left(y\tan^{-1}\frac xz\right)}{\partial z}$

$\mathrm{div}\vec F=xe^{xy}\sin z-\dfrac{xy}{x^2+z^2}$

Curl is a bit more tedious. Denote by $D_t$ the differential operator, namely the derivative with respect to the variable $t$ . Then

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\begin{vmatrix}\vec\imath&\vec\jmath&\vec k\\D_x&D_y&D_z\\0&e^{xy}\sin z&y\tan^{-1}\frac xz\end{vmatrix}$

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(D_y\left[y\tan^{-1}\dfrac xz\right]-D_z\left[e^{xy}\sin z\right]\right)\,\vec\imath-D_x\left[y\tan^{-1}\dfrac xz\right]\,\vec\jmath+D_x\left[e^{xy}\sin z}\right]\,\vec k$

$\mathrm{curl}\vec F=\left(\tan^{-1}\dfrac xz-e^{xy}\cos z\right)\,\vec\imath-\dfrac{yz}{x^2+z^2}\,\vec\jmath+ye^{xy}\sin z\,\vec k$

a rectangle prism has a volume of 3x^2 + 18x+ 24. its base has a length of x + 2 and width of 3, what expression represents the

OlgaM077 [116]

$\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=lwh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
l=x+2\\
w=3\\
V=3x^2 + 18x+ 24
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{V}{lw}=h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3x^2 + 18x+ 24}{3(x+2)}=h\implies \cfrac{\underline{3}(x^2 + 6x+ 8)}{\underline{3}(x+2)}=h
\\\\\\
\cfrac{(x+4)\underline{(x+2)}}{\underline{(x+2)}}=h\implies x+4=h$
