Y is directly proportional to x squared. if y=12 when x=2 find x when y=48

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alexxx [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx²

NOTE: k is constant for proportionality

putting values for x and y

if x is 2

and y is 12

12 = k(2)²

12 = k4

12 = 4k

divide both sides by coefficient of k

12÷4 = 4k ÷ 4

k=3

substitute 3 for k

therefore when

y is 48

and k is constant 3

then x will be:

48=3x²

divide both sides by coefficient of x²

48 divide by 3 = 3x² divide by 3

16=x²

take the square root of both sides

√16 = √x²

x = 4

Quinzel and Joseph sell shoes. Last month Quinzel sold 18 less pairs
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Quinzel sold 17 pairs of shoes last month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "Q" the number of pairs of shoes Quinzel sold last month and "J" the number of pairs of shoes Joseph sold last month.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{Q=J-18} \atop {Q+J=52} \right.

Solve for "J" from the first equation:

J=Q+18

Applying the Substitution Method, you get:

Q+J=52\\\\Q+(Q+18)=52\\\\2Q=52-18\\\\Q=\frac{34}{2} \\\\Q=17

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Median = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data:

16, 15, 13, 12, 17, 14, 11, 9, 11

Formula:

Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}

Sorted data: 9, 11, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

Median =

=\dfrac{9+1}{2}^{th} = 5^{th}\text{ term} = 13

Thus, the median of the given data is 13.

A data scientist studying a manufacturing process classifies each item produced by the process as either Poor, Acceptable, or Ex
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

0.214 ; 0.064 ; 0.3859 ; 0.9966 ; 0.135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distribution :

Poor ___ Acceptable ____ Excellent

0.25 _____ 0.6 _________ 0.15

The data scientist receives three items produced by the manufacturing process.

Find the chance that:

a. all of items are Acceptable

0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = 0.6^3 = 0.214

b. none of the items is Acceptable

P(not acceptable) = 1 - p(acceptable) = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4 = 0.4^3 = 0.064

c. at least one of the items is Excellent

P(atleast one) = 1 - P(none)

P(not excellent) = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

P(none is excellent) = 0.85^3 = 0.614125

Hence,

P(atleast one is excellent) = 1 - 0.614125 = 0.3859

d. not all of the items are Excellent

P(not all) = 1 - p(All)

P(all excellent) = 0.15^3 = 0.003375

P(not all are excellent) = 1 - 0.003375 = 0.9966

e. there is one item of each class:

P(poor) * p(acceptable) * p(excellent) * (number of classes)!

0.25 * 0.6 * 0.15 * 3!

= 0.135

F (x) = 7 (x-1) +8 what is the value of f (1)
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = 7 (x-1) +8

For f(1) we plug 1 into x.

f(1) = 7 (1-1) +8

Simplify

f(1) = 8
