.The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation. Three square yards are equivalent to 27 s

quare feet. Let y represent the number of square yards and x the number of square feet. Then y varies directly with x.
What is the constant of variation?

Answer:

The constant of variation is 1/9

The equation representing the direct variation is y/x= 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation, y/x=k denotes the equation, with k being the constant of variation. Here, y is the number of square yards and x is the number of square feet. Therefore, as we know that 27 square feet = 3 square yards, we can write one point (x₁, y₁) as (27 square feet, 3 square yards). Plugging x₁ and y₁ into our equation, we get

y/x = k

3 / 27 = k

(3/27) / (3/3) = 1/9* = k

Therefore, the constant of variation is 1/9

Next, as stated previously, y/x = k represents the equation of direct variation. Therefore, y / x = 1/9 as our equation

* because 3 is a factor of both 3 and 27, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to keep the fraction the same but also simplify it. One way to find the greatest common factor is to list the factors of each number and see the highest number that is a factor of both

inna [77]

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract one player from the total number, because one has to block.

19

Multiply this by the number of goalies there are.

19*3=57

There will be 57 kicks.

Sue played four games of golf for these games her modal score was 98 and her mean score was 100 her range of score was 10 what w
earnstyle [38]

Answer : Remaining two observation becomes 97 and 107.

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Mean = 100

Modal value = 98

Range = 10

As we know that ,

Range = Highest-Lowest

Let highest observation be x

Let lowest observation be y

So equation becomes x-y=10 ----equation 1

So, observation becomes

x,98,98,y

Now, we use the formula of mean i.e.

Mean = \frac{\text{Sum of observation}}{\text{N.of observaton}}

So, mean =\frac{x=98=98+y}{4}=400\\\frac{196+x+y}{4}=100\\x+y=400-196\\x-y=204

So our 2nd equation becomes

x+y=204

On using elimination method of system of linear equation on these two equation we get,

x=97

and

x+y=204\\y=204-x\\y=204-97\\y=107

Hence , remaining two observation becomes 97 and 107.

The growth of a species of fish in a lake can be modeled by the function ƒ(x) = 500(1.10)x, where x is time in months since Janu
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

y= ab^x

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

a = 500, b =1.1

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:
