Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, one must apply the following logarithmic property:
if
then
Applying it to the problem at hand:
The solutions to the problem are 4/7 and -4/7.
*Note that this solution was pretty straight forward because log2(16) = 4 is a known value, otherwise, a change of base to a base ten log would be required.
Starting weight: 5/6 lb. Of this, Jan used 1/5, which would be (1/5)(5/6) lb,
or 1/6 lb, leaving 4/6 lb, or 2/3 lb. unused.
2/3 lb
Now divide 2/3 lb by 8 portions: ----------------- = (2/24) lb/portion, or
8 portions
1/12 lb/portion.
Answer: The constant of proportionality is r = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
O, we know that x and y are proportional, this means that:
y = r*x
where r is the constant of proportionality.
we also have the table
x y
7 35
12 60
20 100
Now, we can replace those values in our equation and get, for the first pair:
35 = r*7
r = 35/7 = 5
for the second pair:
60 = r*12
60/12 = 5 = r
So we can conclude that the constant of proportionality is 5.
