Answer:

k is the constant

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is simply explained as when a number is directly proportional to another number. For example, when 8 is directly proportional to 4 then it will result to

=> 8= k4, where k is the constant

=> divide both sides by 4 to get k

=> k= 2

9 divided by 20 is 0.45

So the answer is closest to 1/2

Question 3

7 divided by 5 is 1.4

So the answer is closest to 1 1/2

The sum of an infinite geometric series is three times the first term. Find the common ratio of this series.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of an infinite geometric series is expressed according to the formula;

$S_\infty = \dfrac{a}{1-r}$ where;

a is the first term of the series

r is the common ratio

If the sum of an infinite geometric series is three times the first term, this is expressed as $S_\infty = 3a$

Substitute $S_\infty = 3a$ into the formula above to get the common ratio r;

$3a = \dfrac{a}{1-r} \\\\$

$cross \ multiply\\\\3a(1-r) = a\\\\3(1-r) = 1\\$

open the parenthesis

$3 - 3r = 1\\\\$

subtract 3 from both sides

$3 - 3r -3= 1-3\\\\-3r = -2\\\\r = \frac{2}{3}$

Hence the common ratio of this series is $\frac{2}{3}$

A rancher’s herd of 250 sheep grazes over a 40-acre pasture. He would like to find out how many sheep are grazing on each acre o

k = 13The smallest zero or root is x = -10

===============================

Steps:

note: you can write "x^2" to mean "x squared"

f(x) = x^2+3x-10

f(x+5) = (x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10 ... replace every x with x+5

f(x+5) = (x^2+10x+25)+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5) = x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5) = x^2+13x+30

Compare this with x^2+kx+30 and we see that k = 13

Factor and solve the equation below

x^2+13x+30 = 0

(x+10)(x+3) = 0

x+1 = 0 or x+3 = 0

x = -10 or x = -3

The smallest zero is x = -10 as its the left-most value on a number line.
