Answer:

y = 0.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (12, 9 ), then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{9}{12}$ = 0.75, so

y = 0.75x ← equation of variation

What is log Subscript 15 Baseline 2 cubed rewritten using the power property?

nalin [4]

Answer:

The equivalent expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your expression is $\log_{15}2^3$ , then we can use the power property of logarithm , which is $\log_ab^n=n\log_ab$ .

If we let a=15, b=2, and n=3

Then using the power property of logarithm will give us:

$\log_{15}2^3=3\log_{15}2$

Using the power property of logarithm, the equivalent expression is $3\log_{15}2$

Tickets to a school dance are sold for $10 each. The student council spent a total of $400 on set-up costs for the dance. The sc

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

P(t) = 10t - 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price of each ticket = $10

Cost of setting up the dance= $400

Profit = Revenue - cost

Revenue = price × quantity

Revenue that will maximize profit = 10t

where t= quantity of tickets that maximises profits

Cost = $400

Profit(t) = Revenue - cost

P(t)= 10t - 400

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.7 m and a base with a circumference of 18.9 m. Round your answe

DochEvi [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of cone, h = 12.7 m

Circumference of base, C = 18.9 m

The base of a circular cone is circular. The circumference of circle is given by :

$C=2\pi r$

r is radius

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{18.9 }{2\pi}\\\\r=3\ m$

The volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula as :

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times 3^2\times 12.7\\\\V=119.634\ m^3$

Emma calculated the slope of the downhill hike to be . Her work is shown below. Determine whether her calculation was correct or

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Emma made a mistake. The slope should be -40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pair of points (x, y):

(165, 900) and (180, 300)

Slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Calculate the slope:

Slope = (300 - 900)/(180 - 165) = -600/15 = -40

Explain how you can use the inscribed angle theorem to justify its second corollary, that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is

Katarina [22]

Prove:

The angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle.

The inscribed angle theorem states that the angle θ, inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the central angle of the circle. So, if the given is a semi-circle, then the inscribed angle is half of 180, therefore, 90 degrees and a right angle.
