This graph shows a proportional relationship.
1 answer:
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 0.3, or K=0.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The chart I attached shows points that are plotted on the proportional line. In order to find the constant of proportionality from these points, you have to divide the amount of change by the number of years. For example, 3 divided by 10 or 6 divided by 20. This results in 0.3, which means that every year, there is 0.3 centimeters of change in the sea level.

Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.
For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
