As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
The television set has a rectangular shape. The diagonal of this rectangle along with its width and length together form a right angular triangle.
This means that we can apply the Pythagorean theorem which states that:
(diagonal)^2 = (length)^2 + (width)^2
Let the width be w. We know that the length is 0.75 times the width, this means that: length = 0.75 w
Substitute in the above equation:
(20)^2 = (0.75w)^2 + (w)^2
400 = 0.5625 w^2 + w^2
400 = 1.5625 w^2
w^2 = 256
w = 16
This means that the width of the screen is 16 in.
I solved it on a piece of paper. I can not answer why I got the same answer, but I hope my method helped
Answer:
The rate of change is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
put the 16 as the numerator then the 2 hours as the denominator then divide by 2 to get you 8 dollars for 1 hour
Answer:
The variance of these investment returns is 74
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Series = 10, 30, 15, 5, 20
To Find:
variance of a series = ?
Solution:
The variance of the series = 
Now 
= 
= 36 + 196 +121 + 1+ 16
= 370
Now
= 74
