This graph shows a proportional relationship.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when y varies directly with x, we get

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality

From the graph, it is clear that the point (2/5, 1/2) passes through the line which represents the direct relationship.

so we have the point (2/5, 1/2), and

x = 2/5

y = 1/2

so substituting x = 2/5 and y = 1/2 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [1/2] / [2/5]

k = [1 × 5 ] /  [2 × 2 ]

k = 5/4

Therefore, the constant of proportionality is:

  • k = 5/4

Determine the equation of the inverse of y=1/4x^3-2
dedylja [7]

<u>Answer</u>


y⁻¹ = ∛(4x+8)



<u>Explanation</u>

y=(1/4)x³ - 2.

To find the inverse of this equation, you first make x the subject of the formular.

y=(1/4)x³ - 2

Multiply both sides by 4;

4y = x³ - 8

Add 8 on both sides of the equation;

4y + 8 = x³

x³ = 4y + 8

Apply the cube root on both sides to get the value of x;

x = ∛(4y+8)


The inverse of y=(1/4)x³ - 2 is;

y⁻¹ = ∛(4x+8)

360 words in 1/12 hour. Second try 360 words in 1/15 hour. Was he faster or slower second attempt
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Second Attempt is faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

He reads 360 words in \frac{1}{12} hour in the first attempt and in the second attempt he reads the same number of words in \frac{1}{15} hour.

Since, $ \frac{1}{15} < \frac{1}{12} $ he takes less time in the second time. Less time means the work is done faster.

Therefore, second attempt is faster.

Answer: 320 g

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio.

Let the amount of oats equal to x.

18/240 = 24/x

We can now cross multiply.

18x = 5760.

x = 320 g
