Answer:

$\frac{3}{2}$ is the constant of proportionality in terms of the cost per shirt .

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality

Let us assume that x is proportional to y .

$x \propto y$

x = ky

Where k is the constant of proportionality .

As given

Josh takes a load of dress shirts to the dry cleaners.

The amount he pays for dry cleaning f is given by the equation $f = \frac{3}{2} s$

where s is the number of shirts.

Compare $f = \frac{3}{2} s$ with x = ky .

Thus

$Cost\ per\ shirt =\frac{f}{s}= \frac{3}{2}$

$k = \frac{3}{2}$

Therefore $\frac{3}{2}$ is the constant of proportionality in terms of the cost per shirt .

The amount he pays is the number of shirts times 3 / 2 (or 1.5)
unless the equation is f=3/(2s) where the cost would then be the number of shirts times two, divided by three

Which of the following statements says that a number is between -3 and 3?

Shalnov [3]

So, if the <span>number is between -3 and 3, It couldn't be more than 3, so C isn't the answer. It also doesn't have to be equal to 3.

B, </span><span>|x| < 3, would be your answer.
Hope this helps!</span>

Need help with homework

We have two points describing the diameter of a circumference, these are:

$\begin{gathered} A=(-12,-4) \\ B=(-4,-10) \end{gathered}$

Recall that the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, to find this coordinate, we find the midpoint of the diameter, that is, the midpoint between points A and B.

For this we use the following equation:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Now, we replace and solve:

$\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-12+(-4)}{2},\frac{-4+(-10)}{2} \\ M=(\frac{-12-4}{2},\frac{-4-10}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-16}{2},\frac{-14}{2}) \\ M=(-8,-7) \end{gathered}$

The center of the circle is (-8,-7), so:

$\begin{gathered} h=-8 \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}$

On the other hand, we must find the radius of the circle, remember that the radius of a circle goes from the center of the circumference to a point on its arc, for this we use the following equation:

$r^2=\Delta x^2+\Delta y^2$

In this case, we will solve the delta with the center coordinate and the B coordinate.

$\begin{gathered} r^2=((-4)-(-8))^2+((-10)-(-7)) \\ r^2=(-4+8)^2+(-10+7)^2 \\ r^2=4^2+(-3)^2 \\ r^2=16+9 \\ r^2=25 \\ r=5 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$\begin{gathered} (x-(-8))^2+(y-(-7))^2=25 \\ (x+8)^2+(y+7)^2=25 \end{gathered}$

In conclusion, the equation is the following:

$(x+8)^2+(y+7)^2=25$
