$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{\underline{I}nterest varies with \underline{b}alance}}{I=kb}\qquad \qquad \textit{we know that } \begin{cases} b=200\\ I=12.5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 12.5=k200 \implies \cfrac{12.5}{200}=k\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{125}{10}~~}{\frac{200}{1}}=k\implies \cfrac{125}{10}\cdot \cfrac{1}{200}=k \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{16}=k \qquad \qquad \textit{therefore}\qquad \boxed{I=\cfrac{1}{16}b} \\\\\\ \textit{when b = 500, what is \underline{I}?}\qquad I=\cfrac{1}{16}(500)\implies I=\cfrac{125}{4}\implies I=31.25$

The volume of a rectangular prism is b3 + 8b2 + 19b + 12 cubic units, and its height is b + 3 units. The area of the base of the

omeli [17]

Given:

The volume of the rectangular prism is

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12$ ,

the height is h=(b+3)

1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height

also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be $(mb^{2}+nb+k)$

2

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(mb^{2}+nb+k)*(b+3)$

notice that $b^{3}$ is the product of the largest 2 terms: $mb^{2}$ and b, so m must be 1

also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3

so k*3=12, this means k=4

3
we write the above equality again:

$b^{3}+8 b^{2} +19b+12=(b^{2}+nb+4)*(b+3)$

$(b^{2}+nb+4)(b+3)= b^{3}+3 b^{2} +nb^{2}+3nb+4b+12$

= $= b^{3}+(n+3)b^{2}+(3n+4)b+12$

4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

$8 b^{2}=(n+3)b^{2}$

8=n+3

n=5

substituting n=5:

the base area is $b^{2}+5b+4$

Answer: $b^{2}+5b+4$

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 5/2

Explanation:

According to 30-60-90 triangle rule:

The side opposite of 30 degree is equal to half of the hypotenuse and the hypotenuse here is 5 so therefore x = 5/2

Help me asap!!!!

qaws [65]

Answer (numbers needed in boxes, going from top to bottom):

-1

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is another way of saying y. So, the table is asking, "when substituting these x values for the x's in the function, what does y equal?" So, to answer the question, substitute each x value into the equation and solve.

1) Start with the x value of 1. Substitute 1 for x in y = 2x - 1 and solve:

$y = 2(1)-1\\y = 2 - 1\\y = 1\\$
