Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 20 when x = 4, then

20 = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

5 = k

Answer:

The value of k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know when  y varies directly as x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

Here 'k' is the 'constant' of proportionality

Given

  • y = 20, when x = 4

so substituting y = 20, x = 4 in the equation y = kx

y = kx

20 = k(4)

k = 20 / 4

k = 5

Therefore, the value of k = 5

The average value over the interval is the area under the curve divided by the width of the interval.

Area = 4*(6 -1) +5(8 -6) = 30
Width = 8 - 1 = 7

Average value = 30/7 = 4 2/7

Solve for x<br> Logx-log(x+13)=1<br><br> Step by step explanation please
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying logarithm rule

Log A - Log B= Log(A/B). Division rule

Now, Logx-log(x+13)=1

Log(x/(x+13))=1

Assume that the log is a natural log whose base is 10.

Then apply logarithm law

Log10 base 10=1

Comparing this to Log(x/(x+13))=1

This implies that

x/(x+13)=10

x=10(x+13)

x=10x+130

x-10x=130

-9x=130

x=130/-9

x=-14.444
