Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]

To find:

The constant of proportionality.

Solution:

If y is directly proportional to x, then

[tex]y\propto x[/tex]

[tex]y=kx[/tex]                        ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

We have,

[tex]\dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{9}[/tex]

On cross multiplication, we get

[tex]9x=2y[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]\dfrac{9}{2}x=y[/tex]

Interchange the sides.

[tex]y=\dfrac{9}{2}x[/tex]                ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]k=\dfrac{9}{2}[/tex]

The constant of proportionality is [tex]\dfrac{9}{2}[/tex]. Therefore, the correct option is B.

What is the value of x in the following equation? 11^4x+1= 11^3x-7

Answers

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

well since the equation has the same base of 11, you can just solve for x as you normally would. so the question becomes:

4x+1 = 3x -7

subtract one from both sides

4x = 3x - 8

subtract 3x from both sides

x = - 8

x=  -8

A woman sold an article for 20.00cedis and made a profit of 25%.Find the cost price of the article.

Answers

Answer:

The cost price = GHc 16.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = GHC 20.00

Profit Percent = 25%

Cost price = ?

Formula for finding cost price =

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + profit \: percent} \times selling \: price[/tex]

Let's insert the numbers

[tex] \frac{100}{100 + 25} \times 20 \\ = \frac{100}{125} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4}{5} \times 20 \\ = \frac{4 \times 20}{5} \\ = \frac{80}{5} \\ = 16[/tex]

So therefore ; the cost price is GHC 16.00

Solving for [tex]x[/tex]:

Can someone please tell me what the equation would be and how I would show it

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4y-15=0

Geometric figure: Straight Line

Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

x-intercept = 15/3 = 5

y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   3x-4y-15  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  3x-4y-15  = 0 and calculate its properties

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 15/-4 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=-3.75000

y-intercept = 15/-4  = -3.75000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 5/1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x= 5.00000

x-intercept = 15/3  =  5

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -3.750 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -2.250. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -2.250 - (-3.750) = 1.500 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

  Slope     =  1.500/2.000 =  0.750

Geometric figure: Straight Line

Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

x-intercept = 15/3 = 5

y-intercept = 15/-4 = -3.75000

What is the standard deviation of the data? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

The standard deviation of the data is 100 if round to the nearest whole number.

What is the standard deviation?

It is defined as the measure of data disbursement, It gives an idea about how much is the data spread out.

The list represents the approximate number of megabytes of data Grace used each month as shown in the table.

To find the standard deviation first we will find the mean:

The sum of the all data given = 9380

The mean X' = 9380/12    (total number of observation = 12)

Now subtract the mean from each sample value such as (X-X') and square it.

Find the sum of it.

The formula for the standard deviation is given:

[tex]\rm SD =\sqrt{\frac{\sum(X-X')^2}{n} }[/tex]

Put the ∑(X-X')² = 120866.67 and n = 12

[tex]\rm SD =\sqrt{\frac{120866.67}{12} }[/tex]

SD = 100.36 ≈ 100

Thus, the standard deviation of the data is 100 if round to the nearest whole number.

How can you tell that −10 and −20 are solutions to this inequality, but 10 is not? 3n − 40 < −5n + 8

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

-10 or -20 satisfies the equation.

But when you substitute 10 in:

30-40<-50+8

-10<-42(wrong)

it's wrong

The solutions are −10 and −20 to the inequality 3n − 40 < −5n + 8 because they satisfy the inequality unlike 10.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are not equal.

The inequality is given in the question as:

3n − 40 < −5n + 8

Rearrange the terms in the above inequality

3n + 5n < 8 + 40

Apply the addition operation in the terms

8n < 48

Divided by 8 into both sides of the inequality

n < 6  ....(i)

Substitute the value of n = 10 in inequality (i),

10 < 6

This is not true, so 10 is not the solution to the given inequality.

Therefore, the solutions are −10 and −20 to the inequality 3n − 40 < −5n + 8 because they satisfy the inequality unlike 10.
