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

Please see the attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:

Now we find the x and y intercept of f(x)
For x-intercept: Put f(x)=0 and solve for x
So, x=3.92 (Just before 4 on x-axis)
For y-intercept: Put x=0 and solve for f(0)
So, y=3 (Passes through y-axis at 3)
End Behavior: Third degree function

Answer:
P=x/2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create an equation to solve this.
Let the number of pounds be P
Let the number of kilograms be X
Now, we know that for 1 kilogram, there is 2.2 pounds.
Therefore if we have 1 kilogram (X) then we will have 2.2 pounds (P).
<u>X=2.2P</u>
All you have to do now is rearrange the equation to find the number of pounds in x kilograms. To do this divide both sides by 2.
Therefore you will get P=x/2.2
Let x = # candles sold
100 + x = 5x
4x = 100
x = 25
answer
25 candles must be sold to equal expenses
<span>To link the displayed Wright flyer in the museum with the
actual plane, we have to calculate for the relation of the corresponding
parameter. In this problem, for both the display and the actual plane, we are
given with the length. Computing for the ratio gives us,</span>
<span>
ratio = length of the model / length of the actual plane
Length of the model = 35 cm</span>
<span>
We need to calculate for the length of the model in ft.</span>
<span>
length of the model = (35 cm)(1 in/2.54 cm)(1 ft/12 in)
length of the model = 1.148 ft
</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>Going back to the calculation for the ratio,
ratio = (1.148 ft)/21 ft
ratio = 0.055
Therefore, the measurements used in the model is equal to 0.055 times the
actual dimensions.
Error may occur because of the number of significant figures measured for
rounding up or down of the answers after each calculation. </span>
