B, D and E are proportional

A, C, and F are not proportional

y = 3+x .... not proportional

y = 1.6x .... proportional

y = 3/(4x) .... not proportional

y = x .... proportional

y = 12x .... proportional

y = 2x+1 ... not proportional

=================================================

Explanations:

Anything in the form y = k*x is a direct proportional equation. As x goes up, so does y. The same happens if x decreases, and we'll have y also decrease. They go up together or down together. This is where the "direct" comes from. Specifically they change the same amount each time (hence the term "proportional").

For something like y = 1.6x, we have k = 1.6

In the equation y = x, we have y = 1x in reality so k = 1 here.

Lastly, y = 12x has k = 12.

----------------------

The other equations are not in the form y = kx. Whenever we have y = mx+b, with b nonzero, then y = mx+b is not proportional. The value of b must be 0 for it to fit y = kx form. This rules out y = 2x+1 and y = 3+x or y = x+3.

The equation y = 3/(4x) is an inversely proportional equation in the form y = k/x. It cannot be written as y = kx. Note how x is in the denominator for y = 3/(4x) while the same can't be said for y = kx. Inversely proportional equations have x increase and y decrease, or vice versa. They go in opposite directions.

A. Divide both sides of the bottom equation by 2
B. Multiply both sides of the top equation by 3
C. Multiply both sides of the bottom equation by 3
D. Divide both sides of the top equation by 3

Answers

Answer:

B. Multiply both sides of the top equation by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

4x+2y = 4

12x+y = 22

For the equations to have equal x-coefficients, you'll multiply both sides of (1) by 3

4x+2y = 4 (1)

12x+y = 22 (2)

B. Multiply both sides of the top equation by 3

3(4x+2y=4)

We have,

12x+6y=12 (3)

12x+y=22 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

5y=12-22

5y=-10

y= -10/5

y=-2

Substitute y=-2 into (1)

4x+2y = 4

4x+2(-2)=4

4x-4=4

4x=4+4

4x=8

x=8/4

x=2

Therefore, y= -2 and x=2

Answer:

Approximately 13.9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, note that ΔTVW is a right triangle.

Since we are given that ∠UTV is 112°, this means that ∠WTV is 68° because 180-112 is 68°.

Now that we know ∠WTV is 68°, we can use the basic trigonometric ratios to solve for VW. VW is the side opposite ∠WTV. We also know the hypotenuse. So, we would use sine. Recall that:

[tex]\sin(\theta)=opp/hyp[/tex]

Plug in 68° for theta, VW for the opposite, and 15 for the hypotenuse:

[tex]\sin(68)=VW/15\\VW=15\sin(68)\\VW\approx13.9078\approx13.9[/tex]

5. Lisa sold costume jewelry at a bazaar. The
first hour she sold 2 bracelets and 3 rings
for a total of $26. Later a customer bought
2 rings and paid $12. All bracelets were
priced the same. All rings were priced the
same. How much did a bracelet cost?

Answers

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Bracelets + 3 rings = $26

2 rings = $12

3 rings = x

To get the cost of 1 ring you divide 12 by 2 and the answer you get is 6.

The total cost of the 3 rings is $18( $6*3)

Then you subtract the cost of both 2 bracelets and 3 rings($26) from the cost of 3 rings($18). The answer is $8. ( THIS IS THE COST OF 2 BRACELETS)

1 BRACELET= $4( $8/2)

He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that​ don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately​ 10% of the​ tires?

Answers

Complete question is;

A mechanic sells a brand of automobile tire that has a life expectancy that is normally​ distributed, with a mean life of 34,000 miles and a standard deviation of 2500 miles. He wants to give a guarantee for free replacement of tires that​ don't wear well. How should he word his guarantee if he is willing to replace approximately​ 10% of the​ tires?

Answer:

The mechanics worded guarantee that the tyre will be replaced if it lasts less than or equal to 30796 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = Life expectancy of the automobile tire

For the normal distribution, we are given;

μ = 34000

σ = 2700

Let y miles be the minimum miles of the tyres which the mechanic guarantees that he will replace if it's last less than that.

Now, since the mechanic is willing to replace approximately 10% of the tires, y would be such that:

P(X ≤ y) = 0.1

Using the z formula, we have;

P[(X - μ)/σ) ≤ [(y - μ)/σ] = 0.1

Thus;

P(Z ≤ ([y - μ]/σ) = 0.1

From z-distribution table the Z-score at 0.1 is approximately -1.2816

This is P(Z ≤ -1.2816)

Thus;

[y - μ]/σ = -1.2816

(y - 34000)/2500 = -1.2816

y - 34000 = -1.2816 × 2500

y - 34000 = -3204

y = 34000 – 3204

y = 30796

So, we conclude that the mechanic will guarantee that the tyre will be replaced if it lasts less than or equal to 30796 miles.

where h(t) is the height in metres and t is time in seconds. Determine
when the ball reaches its maximum height?​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you have to complete the square. To do that, set the quadratic equal to 0, then move the constant over to the other side. That's 2 steps in one, but they're simple ones:

[tex]-5t^2+10t=-65[/tex]

The first picky rule that completing the square has to follow is that the coefficient on the squared term has to be a 1. Ours is a -5, so we factor it out:

[tex]-5(t^2-2t)=-65[/tex] . Now it gets even pickier. To create a perfect square binomial on the left, we take half the linear term, square it, and add it in to both sides. Our linear term is a -2. Half of -2 is -1, and -1 squared is 1, so we add 1 into the set of parenthesis. BUT the -5 out front is a multiplier and refuses to be ignored. To offset the addition of the 1 inside the parenthesis, we have to multiply it by the -5 out front to get -5:

[tex]-5(t^2-2t+1)=-65-5[/tex]

The perfect square binomial on the left side and simplifying the right:

[tex]-5(t-1)^2=-70[/tex] . Now we'll move the 70 over and set the quadratic back equal to y:

[tex]-5(t-1)^2+70=y[/tex]

That's the quadratic in vertex form. The vertex here is (1, 70) which serves to answer 2 questions for us: the max height of the ball along with the time it was at that max height. For us, the ball reached a max height of 70 m after 1 second in its travels.

You could also do it the "calculus way" which is to find the derivative of the position function, which is

-10t + 10 = 0 and solve for t:

-10t = -10 so

t = 1. That's the time that the ball is at its highest point, and to find the highest point, sub that value in for t in the position function:

[tex]h(t)=-5(1)+10(1)+65[/tex] which comes to 70 m. I'm not sure what class you're taking so I did both! Calculus is way easier.

Tristan wants to buy a car and has a choice between two different banks. One bank is offering a simple interest rate of 3% and the other bank is offering a rate of 2.5% compounded annually. If Tristan decides to deposit $7,000 for 4 years, which bank would be the better deal? 1. a simple interest rate of 3% 2. a compound interest rate of 2.5%

Answers

Answer:

The bank offering simple interest at rate of 3% for four years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To find out which deal would be better, we have to find how much accrued on the simple and compound interest.

Data;

Principal (P) = $7,000

Time = 4 years

Simple interest rate = 3%

S.I = PRT / 100

S.I = (7000 × 3 × 4) / 100

S.I = $840

In four years, he would have $7000 + $840 = $7840.

For compound interest,

C.I = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where n = number of time compounded = 1 (since it's annually)

rate = 2.5% = 2.5/ 100 = 0.025

C.I = 7000(1 + 0.025/1)⁽¹*⁴⁾

C.I = 7000 (1 + 0.025)⁴

C.I = 7000×(1.025)⁴

C.I = 7000 × 1.1038

C.I = $7726.6

In four years he would have $7,726.6

After calculating and evaluating both option, it's advisable for him to select the bank offering a simple interest of 3% for four years

Answers

I'm sorry if it's wrong but i think it's C.

Answer:

C. The point lies 1 unit below the regression line.

Step-by-step explanation:

A residual is calculated by doing the true value minus the predicted value. For instance, if a point's true value is 5, but the predicted value is 3, the residual of the point will be 5 - 3 = 2.

The regression line is the line of predicted values. So, if a data point has a residual of -1, that means that the predicted value overpredicted the point's value. So, the point will lie C. 1 unit below the regression line.

WILL GIVE BRAINLEIST!!!!!Find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below. A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before treatment, 17 subjects had a mean wake time of 104.0 min. After treatment, the 17 subjects had a mean wake time of 97.5 min and a standard deviation of 21.9 min. Assume that the 17 sample values appear to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatments. What does the result suggest about the mean wake time of 104.0 min before the treatment? Does the drug appear to be effective?
