we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx
so
That means it's the equation of a line passing through the origin.
case a) and case d) are discarded because the line does not pass through the origin
<u>case b) we have</u>
for x=2 y=4
y/x=k-------> 4/2=2------> k=2
y=2x-------> in this case the value of y is two times the value of x
<u>case c) we have</u>
for x=4 y=2
y/x=k-------> 2/4=1/2------> k=(1/2)
y=(1/2)x-------> in this case the value of y is one-half of the value of x
therefore
the solution is the case c) see the attached figure
Answer:
Approximatley 5.8 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two angles, ∠S and ∠T, and the side opposite to ∠T. We need to find the unknown side opposite to ∠S. Therefore, we can use the Law of Sines. The Law of Sines states that:
Replacing them with the respective variables, we have:
Plug in what we know. 20° for ∠S, 17° for ∠T, and 5 for <em>t</em>. Ignore the third term:
Solve for <em>s</em>, the unknown side. Cross multiply:
