Answer:

  a) k = 2/5

  b) y = 2/5x

  c) y = 2 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

The proportional relation is described by the equation ...

  y = kx . . . . . . k is the constant of proportionality

The value of k can be found by dividing the equation by x:

  y/x = k = (2 1/4)/(5 5/8) = (9/4)/(45/8) = 18/45

  k = 2/5

__

<h3>b)</h3>

As above, the equation is ...

  y = kx

  y = 2/5x

__

<h3>c)</h3>

Using 6.5 for x, we have ...

  y = (2/5)(6.5) = 2.6 = 2 3/5

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by
Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

A = wl

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

l = 2w + 3, A = 9

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

w(2w+3) = 9

2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0

Thus a quadratic equation with a = 2, b = 3, c = -9

Then

\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81

w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5

w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

A company has a fleet of 200 vehicles. On average, 50 vehicles per year experience property damage. What is the probability that
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The probability is \frac{1}{4} or 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states the total number of vehicles, as well as the number of damaged vehicles on a yearly basis. If 50 vehicles in every 200 vehicles per year are damaged, then we can obtain:

Probability of a damaged vehicle in any given year = \frac{Number of Damaged Vehicles}{Total Number of Vehicles}

= \frac{50}{200} = \frac{1}{4} or 25%

Find one counter example to show that the conjecture is false. angle 1 and angle 2 are​ supplementary, so one of the angles is a
Mrac [35]

Answer:

B. m ∠ 1 = 90° and m ∠ 2 = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

For most situations, the conjecture would probably be true, but there is one exception that makes this statement false.

When two right angles are supplementary, none of them is acute.

For an angle to be acute it needs to be lesser than 90°, and for a pair of angles to be supplementary they should add up to exactly 180°.

With a pair of right angles (90° each), their sum adds up to 180° but neither of them are acute.

Therefore, the answer is B. m ∠ 1 = 90° and m ∠ 2 = 90°

A regular pentagonal prism has a volume of 2,850 cubic millimeters. what is the height of the prism? a regular pentagonal prism
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Height = 19mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a regular polygon =  (A * P) / 2 where A = side / (2 * Tan (π / N)) where, N = Number of sides, A = Apothem,  P = Perimeter.

Here A = 5, P = 5*12 = 60 so

Area  of the base  = (5 * 60) / 2 = 150 mm^2.

Volume = area base * height so

Height = volume / area of base

            = 2850 / 150

            = 19 mm.
