Answer:

K = 5 ; 125 m

Step-by-step explanation:

body falls through 80 metres in 4 seconds, find the distance it would fall in 5 seconds.

Given that:

Distance α (Timetaken)²

Distance = d ; Timetaken = t

d = Kt²

K = constant of proportionality

80 = k4²

80 = 16k

K = 80 / 16

K = 5

Distance it would fall in 5 seconds ; t = 5

D = Kt²

D = 5 * 5²

D = 5 * 25

D = 125

It will fall a distance of 125 m in 5 seconds.

laila [671]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. We know that 1 yard is 36 inches, therefore, 50 yards expressed in inches is:

$(50)(36)=1800in$

2. If he is 50 yards from school and the map shows that the school is 34 inches from his current location, when it shows 3 inches the real distance is:

$\frac{(1800in)(3in)}{34in}=158.82in$

3. If you can to express it in yards:

$\frac{158.82}{36} =4.41 yd$

Therefore, the answer is: 158.82 inches or 4.41 yards.

tatuchka [14]

Answer: $(15.263,\ 17.537)$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, we have

Sample size : n= 50

$\overline{x}=16.40$

$s=4.00$

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value for 95 percent confidence interval :

$t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010$

Confidence interval : $\overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)$

Required 95% confidence interval : $(15.263,\ 17.537)$

Learning Task 3. Find the equation of the line. Do it in your notebook.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

1) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ . The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ . The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) We begin with the slope-intercept form and substitute all known values and calculate the y-intercept: ( $m = 5$ , $x = -1$ , $y = 4$ )

$4 = (5)\cdot (-1)+b$

$4 = -5 +b$

$b = 9$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 5\cdot x +9$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-5\cdot x + y = 9$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-5\cdot x + y = 9$ .

2) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = 3$ , $y_{1} = 4$ , $x_{2} = -2$ , $y_{2} = 2$ )

$3\cdot m + b = 4$ (Eq. 1)

$-2\cdot m + b = 2$ (Eq. 2)

From (Eq. 1), we find that:

$b = 4-3\cdot m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 2), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$-2\cdot m +4-3\cdot m = 2$

$-5\cdot m = -2$

$m = \frac{2}{5}$

And from (Eq. 1) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b=4-3\cdot \left(\frac{2}{5} \right)$

$b = 4-\frac{6}{5}$

$b = \frac{14}{5}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x +\frac{14}{5}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{2}{5}\cdot x +y = \frac{14}{5}$

$-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +5\cdot y = 14$ .

3) By using the slope-intercept form, we obtain the equation of the line by direct substitution: ( $m = 3$ , $b = 4$ )

$y = 3\cdot x +4$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 3\cdot x +4$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-3\cdot x +y = 4$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-3\cdot x +y = 4$ .

4) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -3$ , $y_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ , $y_{2} = 6$ )

$-3\cdot m + b = 0$ (Eq. 3)

$b = 6$ (Eq. 4)

By applying (Eq. 4) on (Eq. 3), we find that the slope of the equation of the line is:

$-3\cdot m+6 = 0$

$3\cdot m = 6$

$m = 2$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = 2\cdot x + 6$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-2\cdot x +y = 6$

The equation of the line in standard form is $-2\cdot x +y = 6$ .

5) We begin with a system of linear equations based on the slope-intercept form: ( $x_{1} = -1$ , $y_{1} = -2$ , $x_{2} = 5$ , $y_{2} = 3$ )

$-m+b = -2$ (Eq. 5)

$5\cdot m +b = 3$ (Eq. 6)

From (Eq. 5), we find that:

$b = -2+m$

And by substituting on (Eq. 6), we conclude that slope of the equation of the line is:

$5\cdot m -2+m = 3$

$6\cdot m = 5$

$m = \frac{5}{6}$

And from (Eq. 5) we find that the y-Intercept is:

$b = -2+\frac{5}{6}$

$b = -\frac{7}{6}$

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is $y = \frac{5}{6}\cdot x -\frac{7}{6}$ .

Then, we obtain the standard form by algebraic handling:

$-\frac{5}{6}\cdot x +y =-\frac{7}{6}$

$-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$

The equation of the line in standard from is $-5\cdot x + 6\cdot y = -7$ .
