The constant of variation is 5 because 4 multiplied by 5 equals 20.

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Define k as the constant of variation.

Since y varies directly with x, the direct variation equation is:

y=kx, where k is the constant.

\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{y}{x}

Using the given values y = 20 and x = 4, the constant k is found by:

\Rightarrow\ k=\dfrac{20}{4}=5

Therefore, the constant of variation k equals 5.

Svet_ta [4341]
To find the maximum number of identical packs we see we have 72 pencils and 24 calculators.

This involves discovering the largest number that divides both 72 and 24 evenly,
which is known as the GCM or greatest common multiplier.

To determine the GCM, factor 72 into primes and group them:
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
Thus, the common grouping is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3, equating to 24.
Therefore, the maximum number of packs is 24.

For pencils:
72 divided by 24=3
Resulting in 3 pencils per pack.

For calculators:
24 divided by 24=1
So, 1 calculator per pack.

The outcome is 3 pencils and 1 calculator in each pack.

Identify the range of the function shown in the graph
Leona [4187]

The domain refers to all potential input values, specifically represented by the x-axis on a graph. Conversely, the range includes all possible output values, depicted along the y-axis.


The graph clearly extends horizontally from (-∞,∞) on the x-axis, indicating that its domain is (-∞,∞).


Similarly, it can be seen that the graph stretches vertically from (-∞,∞) on the y-axis, denoting that the range is also (-∞,∞).


This indicates the function includes an infinite array of values. Therefore, there are no limitations on either the domain or the range for this function.

lawyer [4039]

Answer: The most significant angle created during his journey appears at the mall, between his house and the library.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since this scenario forms a right triangle (refer to the attached image), the angle between his house and the library measures 90°.

For a right triangle, the total of its internal angles equals 180°, making the right angle (90°) the largest among them.

Thus, the angle at the mall, between his house and the library, is indeed the largest angle formed during his trip.

If you need further clarification or have questions, feel free to ask!

What is the range of the exponential function shown below
tester [3938]

Answer : y>0

f(x) = 9*2^x

This function is exponential in form

f(x) = 9*2^x

Substituting positive numbers for x yields positive y values

Substituting negative numbers for x also results in positive y values

Therefore, y remains positive regardless of the value of x.

The range comprises all possible y outputs of the function

Since y is always positive, the range is y > 0

Zina [3917]

Answer:

c= 25

d= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

C: This is because 25+0 is simply 25. Essentially, you are not adding anything, so it remains unchanged!:)

D: 50 + 10 = 60. That’s straightforward addition!

Hope this helps!
