A rope stretches directly depending on the load it must carry. If a load of 8 pounds stretches the rope 9.6 inches, the constant of proportionality is equal to:

8(9.6)
8/9.6
9.6/8

Answers

Answer 1

"Our proportionality constant would be how much the rope stretches versus the weight being hung.  This is set up by simply dividing the two numbers.  

9.6 inches / 8 pounds  

or for every pound hung, it will stretch 1.2 inches  so we know if it stretches 6 inches, we can set up an equation  6 inches = 1.2 [inches/pound] * pounds solve for weight  to get 5 pounds being hung from the rope."

Answer 2

Answer: 9.6 inches / 8 pounds  

Step-by-step explanation: I got it right

From their location in the diagram, what are two possible values for m and n?

Answers

m=6/5 and n = sqrt(2), is rational (but not an integer) and n is irrational.

The case with n = sqrt(9)=3, is not a solution. The case with m=4pi neither.

The last case is m = 6/2=3, integer, so neither works.

So, it is the one with m=6/5 and sqrt(2)

which expression gives the distance between the points (4,6)and (7,-3)

Answers

The distance between any two points is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 so in this case:

d^2=(7-4)^2+(-3-6)^2

d^2=3^2+9^2

d^2=90

d=√90

d=3√10 units 

d≈9.49 units (to nearest hundredth of a unit)

Answer:

As shown in the image....

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation follows with the distance formula which is (x2-x1)+(y2-y1) squared.

45/100 in simplest form

Answers

Hello there! How are you today?

First, let's take a look at our numbers.

45 / 100

Both of these numbers have a 0 and a 5, which means it is divisible by 5.
Let's divide both of them by 5.

45 / 5 = 9
100 / 5 = 20

We are now left with 9/20.

This is your simplified fraction since 9 and 20 do not have any common factors.

If f(x) = 3x + 10x and g(x) = 2x – 4, find (f – g)(x).

Answers

Final answer:

To find (f - g)(x), subtract the function g(x) from f(x) by expanding and combining like terms.

Explanation:

To find (f - g)(x), we need to subtract the function g(x) from f(x). The given functions are f(x) = 3x + 10x and g(x) = 2x - 4. Let's subtract g(x) from f(x):

(f - g)(x) = (3x + 10x) - (2x - 4)

Expanding the expression, we get:

(f - g)(x) = 3x + 10x - 2x + 4

Combining like terms, we simplify it to:

(f - g)(x) = 11x + 4

If x = y − 2, simplify the expression x + 6. A. x + 4 B. x − 8 C. y + 4 D. y − 8

When measuring board footage for some exotic woods, a carpenter must use 1.25 inches for thickness rather than 1 inch in her calculations. Write 1.25 in expanded form.

Answers

1+0.20+0.05

Hope this helps!

Answer: [tex]1.25=1+0.2+0.005[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : When measuring board footage for some exotic woods, a carpenter must use 1.25 inches for thickness rather than 1 inch in her calculations.

To write : 1.25 in expanded form.

When we write a decimal number in expanded form, we are showing the place value of each digit.

Now, 1.25 can be written as :

Dave is helping his grandmother make trail mix. His grandmother asks him to add cup of fruit for every cup of nuts.To satisfy his grandmother’s request, Dave must mix 3/5 4/5 1 1/5 1 2/3 cups of fruit for a single cup of nuts.

To satisfy his grandmother's request, Dave needs to mix [tex]\( \frac{1}{5} \)[/tex] cup of fruit for every [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex] cup of nuts.

To find out how many cups of fruit Dave needs to mix for a single cup of nuts, we need to find a common denominator for [tex]\( \frac{1}{5} \)[/tex]  and [tex]\( \frac{1}{3} \)[/tex], which is 15.

[tex]\[ \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{3}{15} \][/tex]

So, Dave needs to mix [tex]\( \frac{3}{15} \)[/tex] cup of fruit for every [tex]\( \frac{5}{15} \)[/tex] cup of nuts.

Therefore, to satisfy his grandmother's request, Dave must mix [tex]\( \frac{3}{15} \)[/tex] cup of fruit for a single cup of nuts.

b)The focus is at (0, –3), and the equation for the parabola is x2 = –12y.
c)The focus is at (3, 0), and the equation for the parabola is x2 = 12y.
d)The focus is at (–3, 0), and the equation for the parabola is y2 = –12x.

Answers

The correct answer is b), or x² = -12y.

Explanation:
This equation may be written in standard form as
[tex]y=- \frac{1}{12} x^{2} [/tex]
The coefficient in front of x² is negative so the curve is downward.
The vertex has coordinates (0,0).
The vertex is equidistant from the directrix and the focus, so the focus is (0, -3).

double check

$13.75 x 0.25 = $2.75

so answer
The bill was $13.75 for lunch before the tip added
20/100 × x = $2.75
cross multiply,

Estimate the circumference of the circle to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 the diameter is 11

Answers

Recall the circumference formula:  
[tex]c= \pi D[/tex]  
Now, plug in pi as 3.14 and D as 11:  
[tex]3.14 * 11 = 34.54[/tex]  
Your answer is 34.54.
Final answer:

The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 11 using 3.14 for pi is estimated to be 34.54 to the nearest hundredth.

Explanation:

To estimate the circumference of a circle to the nearest hundredth, we use the formula C = πd, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter of the circle. Given that the diameter is 11 and we should use 3.14 for π, the calculation is C = 3.14 × 11. Performing the multiplication gives us a result of 34.54, which is the estimated circumference of the circle to the nearest hundredth.

find the approximate length of the leg of a right triangle with one leg length 8 and hypotenuse length 19

Answers

So, teh exact value is sqrt( 19^2 - 8^2 ) = sqrt( 361-64) = sqrt(297).

There's people who can calculate this mentally, but I can't. Approximate by known squares: 15^2 = 225, 16^2 = 256, 17^2= 289, 18^2=324,

So, 18.

The approximate length of the leg of a right triangle is 17.

Use the concept of a triangle defined as:

A triangle is a three-sided polygon, which has three vertices and three angles which has a sum of 180 degrees.

And the Pythagoras theorem for a right-angled triangle:

(Hypotenuse)²= (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

Given that,

One leg = 8 say it is the base of a triangle.

Hypotenuse = 19

Applying the Pythagorean theorem,

(19)²= (Perpendicular)² + (8)²

(Perpendicular)² = 297

Taking square root on both sides,

Perpendicular ≈ 17.2

Hence,

The required length of leg is approximately 17.
