Answer:

y = ¼(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Before solving the question, let's look at one example,

  • A is directly proportional to B means A∝B which also means A=kB where k is a constant.

In this case, y is directly proportional to (x-4) means that y∝(x-4) which can also mean that y=k(x-4).

Hence, to find the value of k, substitute x=16, y=3 into y=k(x-4),

3=k(16-4)

k=3/12

k=1/4

After that, substitute the k value into the equation,

<h3>y = ¼(x-4)</h3>

Choose the correct x-intercepts for the following quadratic function.

Brainly doesn't automatically "know" every part of the problems you post here; you have to ensure that your post includes everything in the original problem.

We can still have some fun with answer choice  <span>x = 1, x = 3:

An associated quadratic function would have the form y = a(x-1)(x-3).  Just supposing that the point (2, 5) were on the graph, then this   </span>y = a(x-1)(x-3) would become   5 = a(2-1)(2-3), or 5 = a(1)(-1), or 5 = -a, or a = -5.

Thus, the equation of the parabola would be y = -5(x-1)(x-3), or, in the more usual form, y = -5(x^2 - 4x + 3).

Complete the square to find the vertex:

Steal y = x^2 - 4x + 3 for a moment and complete the square:

x^2 - 4x + 3    =  x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 + 3, or (x-2)^2  -  1

Subbing this back into    y = -5(x^2 - 4x + 3), we get

y = -5 [ (x-2)^2  -1 ], or   y = -5(x-2)^2 + 5.  This shows that the vertex is at (2, 5), that the graph opens downward, and the graph is symm. about the line x = 2.  

Having fun yet?

The schematic of a rectangular patio is drawn 1/4 inch to 1 feet. if the patio is 18 feet long, what is the measure of the patio
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Try 4.5 inches. You take 18, divide it by four you get 4.5. I divided by 4 because of the 1/4 inch by 1 foot. Minus 2 from 18, you get the next closest dividend of 4 and that's 16. 16 divided by 4 is 4. 2 are left over to make .5. you get 4.5

Please answer A and B! i will give brainliest to the correct annswer!!
Vlada [557]
A. They are both proportional because they have the same ratio.
b. The two graphs are the same because they have a constant rate of change (50), but they have different y-intercepts.
