we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $\frac{y}{x}=k$ or $y=kx$

where

k is the constant of proportionality

In this problem we have

$y=2.5x$

the constant of proportionality k is equal to

$k=2.5$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$k=2.5$

The constant of proportionality in the equation $y = 2.5x$ is $\boxed{2.5}.$

Further explanation:

The relation is defined as the relationship between the input values and output values.

The x coordinates are the domain of the function and the y coordinates are the range of the function.

Given:

The equation is $y = 2.5x.$

Explanation:

The proportionality equation can be expressed as follows,

$y \propto x$

The value of $y$ changes as $x$ changes. If the value of $x$ increases then the value of y is also increasing.

The equation can be expressed as follows,

$y = kx$

The inversely proportional relationship can be expressed as,

$y \propto \dfrac{1}{x}$

Here, $k$ is the proportionality constant.

The given equation is $y = 2.5x.$

The y is the independent variable and $x$ is the dependent variable.

The proportionality constant is 2.5.

The constant of proportionality in the equation $y = 2.5x$ is $\boxed{2.5}.$

Which would prove that ΔABC ~ ΔXYZ? Select TWO options.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}$ , ∠C ≅∠Z

$\frac{AC}{XZ}=\frac{BA}{YX}$ , ∠A≅∠X

$\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

The corresponding sides are

BA and YX

BC and YZ

AC and XZ

The corresponding angles are

∠A and ∠X

∠B and ∠Y

∠C and ∠Z

$\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$

and

∠A≅∠X

∠B≅∠Y

∠C ≅∠Z

therefore

$\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}$ , ∠C ≅∠Z

$\frac{AC}{XZ}=\frac{BA}{YX}$ , ∠A≅∠X

$\frac{BA}{YX}=\frac{BC}{YZ}=\frac{AC}{XZ}$

Consider the function represented by the graph. What is the domain of this function

Neporo4naja [7]

The end of the ray stops the x values from proceeding left at x=0. So your domain is from that point on to infinity. In your solution set x >= 0, since the arrow continues on the right side where x's are positive.

se the function to show that fx(0, 0) and fy(0, 0) both exist, but that f is not differentiable at (0, 0). f(x, y) = 9x2y x4 + y

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

It is proved that $f_x, f_y$ exixts at (0,0) but not differentiable there.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

$f(x,y)=\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}; (x,y)\neq (0,0)$

To show exixtance of $f_x(0,0), f_y(0,0)$ we take,

$f_x(0,0)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(h+0,k+0)-f(0,0)}{h}=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\frac{9h^2k}{h^4+k^2}-0}{h}\\\therefore f_x(0,0)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{9hk}{h^4+k^2}=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{9k}{h^3+\frac{k^2}{h}}=0$ exists.

And,

$f_y(0,0)=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{f(h,k)-f(0,0)}{k}=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{9h^2k}{k(h^4+k^2)}=\lim_{k\to 0}\frac{9h^2}{h^4+k^2}=\frac{9}{h^2}$ exists.

To show f(x,y) is not differentiable at the origin cheaking continuity at origin be such that,

$\lim_{(x,y)\to (0,0)}\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}=\lim_{x\to 0\\ y=mx^2}\frac{9x^2y}{x^4+y^2}=\frac{9x^2\times m x^2}{x^4+m^2x^4}=\frac{9m}{1+m^2}$ where m is a variable.

which depends on various values of m, therefore limit does not exists. So f(x,y) is not continuous at (0,0). Hence it is not differentiable at (0,0).
