Answer:

5 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate (w ￮ u)(8) , evaluate u(8) then substitute the value obtained into w(x) , that is

u(8) = = 8 + 9 = 17 , then

w(17) = $\sqrt{17+8}$ = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5

---------------------------------------

To evaluate (u ￮ w )(8) , evaluate w(8) then substitute the value obtained into u(x) , that is

w(8) = $\sqrt{8+8}$ = $\sqrt{16}$ = 4 , then

u(4) = 4 + 9 = 13

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$u(x)=x+9\\\\w(x)=\sqrt{x+8} \\\\(wou)(x)=u(w(x))=u(\sqrt{x+8} )=\sqrt{x+8}+9\\(wou)(8)= \sqrt{8+8}+9=4+9=13\\\\\\(uow)(x)=w(u(x))=w(x+9)=\sqrt{x+9+8}=\sqrt{x+17}\\(wou)(8)= \sqrt{8+17}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\\$

Since we don't know how much students there is going to be, let's assume it's x. 367x+1500=16600. 16600-1500=15100. We have to isolate x by itself so 15100/367 which equals 41.14etc And round it to 41 since there can't be a decimal of a student. Hope this helped.

The table shows the ratio of caramel corn to cheddar corn in a bag. What is the constant of proportionality?

Anit [1.1K]

For proportionality constant problems, set up the equation as,

$x=Ky$ ,

Where x and y are the two variables you are comparing and K is the proportionality constant. If we take Caramel Corn values as x and Cheddar Corn values as y, and then solve for K for each ratio lines, we will get the same answer. Let's check.

$15=K(10)\\K=\frac{15}{10}= \frac{3}{2}$ ,
