Question:
The quantities x and y are proportional.
x y
5.8 7.5
11.2
Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The table above
Required
Find the constant of proportionality
The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.
Given that
y = rx
Make r the subject of formula
Divide through by x
y/x = rx
y/x = r
r = y/x
When y = 7.5, x = 5.8
Substitute these values
r = y/x becomes
r = 7.5/5.8
Multiply denominator and numerator by 10
r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)
r = 75/58
In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.
However, it can be solved further.
r = 75/58
r = 1.29 (Approximated)
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Answer:
n = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 (1-3n)
First distribute the 4 (1-3n)
-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 - 12n
Combine like terms on the right side
-6n - 20 = -14n + 4
Get 'n' on one side by adding -6n to both sides
-20 = -8n + 4
Subtract 4 to both sides
-24 = -8n
Divide -8 to both sides
3 = n
Answer:
462 ft/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the bullet is modeled by:
h(t) = -16t² + 925t------------------------------------ (1)
The speed of the bullet is modeled by the first derivative of equation (1)
dh/dt= -32t + 925------------------------------------ (2)
At maximum height, dh/dt = 0
0 = -32t + 925
32t = 925
t = 925/32
= 28.91 seconds
This means that the total time to reach maximum height is 28.91 seconds
Substituting into equation (1) we can calculate the maximum height:
h = -16 (28.91)² +925 (28.91)
= -13,372.61 + 26,742.675
= 13,367.065 ft
Average speed = Total distance/ Total time
= 13,367.065/28.91
= 462.368
≈ 462 ft/s
Answer:
(A)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached:
Angle 1 and Angle 6 are Co-Interior Angles.
The sum of co-interior angle is 180 degrees.
Therefore:

The measure of angle 1 is therefore 56.5 degrees.
The correct option is A.
Answer:
a. 68% of the workers will earn between $47300 and $69700.
b. 2.5% of workers will earn above $89000
c. Approximately 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard normal distribution curve in the attached graph is used to solve this question.
a. The value $47300 is a standard deviation below the mean i.e. 58500-11200=47300. While $69700 is a standard deviation above the mean. I.e. 58500+12000=69700.
Between the first deviation below and above the mean, you have 34%+34%=68% of the salary earners within this range. So we have 68%of staffs earning within this range
b. The second standard deviation above the mean is $80900. i.e. 58500+11200+11200=$80900
We have 50%+13.5%+2.5%= 97.5% earning below $80900. Therefore, 100-97.5= 2.5% of the workers earn above this amount.
c. From the Standard Deviation Rule, the probability is only about (1 -0 .997) / 2 = 0.0015 that a normal value would be more than 3 standard deviations away from its mean in one direction or the other. The probability is only 0.0002 that a normal variable would be more than 3.5 standard deviations above its mean. Any more standard deviations than that, and we generally say the probability is approximately zero.
